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 the Courant network, so if you are coming from outside of CIMS, you will have to first 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 Prince Cluster please refer to the NYU HPC wiki page or NYU High Performance Computing page. Please note, we do not maintain the Prince 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 CentOS 7
crunchy3.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6136 (2.4 GHz) (32 cores) 128 GB CentOS 7
crunchy5.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) 256 GB CentOS 7
crunchy6.cims.nyu.edu Four AMD Opteron 6272 (2.1 GHz) (64 cores) 256 GB CentOS 7

 

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

Hostname CPU Memory OS
crackle1.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5630 (2.53 GHz) (16 cores) 64 GB CentOS 7
crackle2.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5630 (2.53 GHz) (16 cores) 64 GB CentOS 7
crackle3.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5630 (2.53 GHz) (16 cores) 64 GB CentOS 7
crackle4.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5630 (2.53 GHz) (16 cores) 64 GB CentOS 7
crackle5.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5630 (2.53 GHz) (16 cores) 16 GB CentOS 7

 

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 CentOS 7
snappy2.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB CentOS 7
snappy3.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB CentOS 7
snappy4.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB CentOS 7
snappy5.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 (2.80 GHz) (20 cores) 128 GB CentOS 7

 

Web Service and Lightweight Computing

The following machine should be used for both internal and external 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 CentOS 7


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 CentOS 7
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 CentOS 7
cuda3.cims.nyu.edu Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 (2.30 GHz) (48 cores) Two TITAN V (12 GB memory each) 128 GB CentOS 7
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 CentOS 7
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 CentOS 7

Other Machines

There are also systems associated with research groups. They are restricted to users who have been approved by a faculty member associated with the relevant research group.

One such group of systems belongs to the Center for Atmosphere Ocean Science (CAOS).
