MCC system overview
The Morgan Compute Cluster (MCC) is a high-performance computing system designed for large-scale scientific workloads.
The system provides high-core-count AMD compute nodes connected through high-speed networking and shared parallel storage.
Admin Nodes (Motherships)
Administrative nodes manage cluster services such as scheduling, monitoring, and system management.
Processor | Processor Class | Cores per Node | Nodes in Cluster | Memory per Node (GB) | Network | Node Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Intel Xeon Gold 6230 | Cascade Lake | 64 | 2 | 92 | InfiniBand HDR (100 Gbps) | mothership2[1-2] |
Login Nodes
Login nodes provide access points for users to connect to the cluster, compile software, and submit jobs.
Processor | Processor Class | Cores per Node | Nodes in Cluster | Memory per Node (GB) | Network | Node Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AMD EPYC 7702P | Rome | 64 | 2 | 256 | InfiniBand HDR (100 Gbps) | mcc-login[001-002 |
Compute Nodes
Compute nodes perform the primary scientific workloads on the cluster.
Node Type | Processor | Processor Class | Cores per Node | Nodes in Cluster | Total Cores | Memory per Node (GB) | Network | Node Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AMD Compute | EPYC 7702P | Rome | 128 | 180 | 23,040 | 512 | InfiniBand HDR (100 Gbps) | rome[001-180] |
Large-memory Compute | EPYC 7702P | Rome | 128 | 2 | 256 | 4096 | InfiniBand HDR (100 Gbps) | frome[001-002] |
Data Transfer Node (DTN)
Data transfer nodes are used for efficient movement of data into and out of the cluster.
Processor | Processor Class | Cores per Node | Nodes in Cluster | Memory per Node (GB) | Network | Node Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AMD EPYC 7702P | Rome | 64 | 1 | 256 | Ethernet (10 Gbps external), HDR (100 Gbps internal) | mcc-dtn |
Storage
The MCC cluster uses a shared parallel filesystem for high-performance data access across compute nodes.
Lenovo GPFS (DSS-G) parallel filesystem
1.8 PB usable capacity (2.3 PB raw)
Connected via 200 Gbps HDR fabric
