Compute Servers


Courant has a number of systems that can be used for CPU intensive jobs and programming assignments for courses and research. These machines are restricted to logins from within Courant's network, so to connect to them from outside of CIMS,  you must first connect via the NYU VPN and login to one of the remote access servers, then use ssh to get to them.

Please do not use access.cims.nyu.edu for cpu-intensive jobs or course work.

To check the SSH Fingerprint  and verify the Host Identity of the servers listed to to this page.

If you are looking for the Greene Cluster please refer to the High Performance Computing (Google site) or High Performance Computing (NYU IT) pages. Please note, we do not maintain the Greene Cluster.

 

The following Linux systems should be used only for CPU and memory intensive processes:

Hostname CPU Memory OS
crunchy1.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) 256 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
crunchy2.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 Ghz) (64 cores) 256 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
crunchy5.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) 256 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
crunchy6.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) 256 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

 

The following Linux systems should be used for generic number crunching:

Hostname CPU Memory OS
snappy1.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
snappy2.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
snappy3.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
snappy4.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
snappy5.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

 

Web Service and Lightweight Computing

The following machine should be used for both web based development and deployment and general, non-resource-intensive coursework:

Hostname CPU Memory OS
linserv1.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) 256 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9


We have some general instructions for setting up an Apache Webserver, Apache Tomcat, MySQL, and other services.

 

GPU Computing - NVIDIA/CUDA
(See current status)

To use these systems please see the instructions.  Host nodes are:

Hostname CPU GPU System Memory OS
cuda1.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.50 GHz) (24 cores) Two GeForce GTX TITAN Black (6 GB memory each) 256 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
cuda2.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2660 (2.60 GHz) (40 cores) Two GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (11 GB memory each) 256 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
cuda3.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 (2.30 GHz) (48 cores) Two TITAN V (12 GB memory each) 128 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
cuda4.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 (2.30 GHz) (48 cores) Two GeForce GTX TITAN X (12 GB memory each) 128 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
cuda5.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2650 (2.60 GHz) (16 cores) Two GeForce GTX TITAN Z (12 GB memory each) 64 GB Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
