Genoa Nodes Delivered

Published: 19 Dec 2024 by NEMO Team

The AMD Genoa partition for NEMO2 was delivered on December 4th. This partition consists of 106 compute nodes with 192 cores and 768 GB RAM each (total >20k cores). In addition, four APU nodes with 4x AMD Instinct MI300A accelerator cards each and nine machines with 4x NVIDIA L40S each for machine learning and AI will be available in NEMO2.

As the acceptance of the storage has been delayed, we have not yet been able to launch NEMO2 this year. However, we have made the Milan nodes in NEMO1 available so that calculations are still possible in December and January. We will try to get the storage up and running in January and create instructions for the data transfer to the new system.

Happy holidays!

Genoa Nodes Delivered

The AMD Genoa, Machine Learning and AI partitions for NEMO2 were delivered on December 4th. The acceptance of the storage has been delayed, so that NEMO2 could not yet start this year. However, calculations with the Milan nodes in NEMO1 are still possible.

End of Life and Milan Nodes in NEMO1

The Genoa partition for NEMO2 will be delivered on December 4th, at the same time all old NEMO1 nodes will be removed. To ease the transition, some new Milan nodes will be booted into NEMO1 environment and will remain available until at least January 31st. Users are encouraged to switch to the new Milan nodes and use the ‘milan’ queue for their jobs (-q milan). If demand increases, additional nodes will be added next week. The launch of NEMO2 is delayed due to unavailable storage, with further updates on testing and data transfer to follow once it becomes available.

Storage and Milan Partition Delivered

The Weka Storage and Milan partition have been successfully delivered for the new NEMO2 cluster. Testing, benchmarking, and system configuration will take place in the coming weeks. We anticipate starting with limited functionality and gradually expanding it over time. A portion of the old NEMO cluster had to be shut down to accommodate the installation of the Milan partition.
