It is an heterogeneous cluster. It uses :ref:`SLURM` to schedule jobs. -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ -| compute ressource | count | count / student | -| | | (for ~500 students) | -+====================+=======+=====================+ -| CPUs | TODO | TODO | -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ -| GPU v100 | 66 | 100 | -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ -| GPU k80 | 16 | 100 | -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ -| GPU m40 | 5 | 100 | -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ -| GPU rtx8000 | 367 | 100 | -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ -| GPU titanrtx | 8 | 100 | -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ -| **GPU in total** | 8 | 100 | -+--------------------+-------+---------------------+ +There are a lot of commonalities between the Mila cluster +and the clusters from Compute Canada (CC). +At the time being, the CC clusters where we have a large allocation of resources +are `beluga`, `cedar` and `graham`. +We also have comparable computational resources in the Mila cluster, +with more to come. -TODO : Maybe add FP32 performance in there? +The main distinguishing factor is that more have more control over +our own cluster than we have over the ones at Compute Canada. +Notably, also, the compute nodes in the Mila cluster all have +unrestricted access to the Internet, which is not the case in general +for CC clusters (although `cedar` does allow it). + +At the current time of this writing (June 2021), Mila students are advised +to use a healthy diet of a mix of Mila and CC clusters. +This is especially true in times when your favorite cluster is oversubscribed, +because you can easily switch over to a different one if you are used to it.
