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:
  • 172 total compute/GPU nodes and 2 login nodes, majority of these are Intel Cascade Lake CPUs and some are AMD EPYC CPUs
  • 22 GPU nodes - each containing two Intel CPUs with 20-cores each for a total of 40 cores, one V100 Nvidia GPU accelerator and 384GB of RAM
  • 9 GPU nodes - each containing two Intel CPUs with 20-cores each for a total of 40 cores, two V100 Nvidia GPU accelerators and 384GB of RAM
  • 3 NVIDIA DGX nodes - each having two AMD EPYC CPUs with 64-cores each for a total of 128 cores, eight Nvidia A100 80GB GPUs and 2TB of RAM
  • 2 GPU nodes - each containing two Intel CPUs with 20-cores each for a total of 40 cores, four V100 Nvidia GPU accelerators and 384GB of RAM
  • 2 GPU nodes - each having two AMD EPYC CPUs with 8-cores each for a total of 16 cores, one Nvidia A100 40GB GPU and 1 TB RAM
  • 2 GPU nodes - each having two Intel CPUs with 24-cores each for a total of 48 cores, four Nvidia H100 80GB GPUs and 1TB of RAM
  • 2 CPU nodes - each having two Intel CPUs with 24-cores each for a total of 48 cores, four Nvidia L40S 48GB GPUs and 1TB of RAM
  • 2 large-memory nodes, each containing four CPUs with 20-cores each for a total of 80 cores, and each including 1.5TB of RAM
  • 1 large-memory node, equipped with two AMD EPYC CPUs with 8-cores each for total of 16 cores and 2 TB of RAM
  • 6 nodes equipped with two AMD EPYC CPUs with 8-cores each for a total of 16 cores and 1 TB of RAM
