About Arc Cluster

Arc is UTSA's primary high-performance (HPC) resource; utilized by researchers, students, faculty and staff from a broad range of disciplines.

Currently, Arc is compromised of 156 nodes totalling 14,864 cores and features:
  • 30 GPU nodes - each containing two CPUs with 20 cores each for a total of 40 cores, 384GB RAM, and each including one V100 Nvidia GPU accelerator
  • 5 GPU nodes - each containing two CPUs with 20 cores each for a total of 40 cores, 384GB RAM, and each including two V100 Nvidia GPU accelerators
  • *Coming Soon -* 2 GPU nodes – each containing 4 V100 GPUs and two CPUs that are Intel Xeon Gold 6248, 20C each (coming soon)
  • Two large-memory nodes, each containing four CPUs with 20 cores each for a total of 80 cores, and each including 1.5TB of RAM
  • Total TFlops across CPUs and GPUs: 387
  • 6032 total CPU cores on compute and GPU nodes
  • 100Gb/s Infiniband storage network connectivity
  • DDN fault-tolerant storage array with 1PB of shared storage utilizing the Lustre file system
  • A cumulative total of 250TB of local scratch space spread evenly among each physical compute node
