More Memory for High-Performance Computing Cluster

hpcc-mem-week-graph-20160414

We have added 1.5 terabytes of memory to The Wharton High-Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC). This upgrade takes the system to over 6TB of total available memory for our research computing needs.

After the upgrade, we now have three compute nodes with half a terabyte of memory each! This is a boon for researchers with large-memory needs. I’m looking at you STATA users. Old memory DIMMs were also rolled-over to upgrade an additional three nodes to 256GB, now eleven total.
