Totally Zen – Zen4c
On June 13, 2023, two days ago, AMD launched the EPYC Bergamo, 128 cores per socket and thus 1024 threads per 1U as a new record in high density ‘CPU’ computing. This is particularly important for non-GPU applications as it increases the amount of computing one can pull out of a given rack space. The…

Moving subMIT to 100 Gbit/sec all the way
Dave and Paul received the 100 Gbit/sec yellow fibres from IS&T (left with Dave) and our subMIT switch is plugged in using the pink fibre (right with Zhangqier). The switch went smoothly on Tuesday (February 24, 2023). Subsequent testing revealed node-to-node network throughput between Building 24 and Bates of up to 88 Gbit/sec (11 Gbytes/sec),…

The firehose has arrived in Building 24
Early this week the eagerly awaited 100 Gbit/sec network connection has arrived in Building 24 to be able to connect the on campus resources with the world at the 100 Gbit/sec level. The connection before was at the 10 Gbit/sec level. It turns out that the fibre ends up directly in the main network hub…

Power circuit work completed
On November 16,2022 from 5:00-8:00am, during the scheduled subMIT downtime, the new power circuit carrying the required 208 V was enabled to provide power to the submit servers that house the gluster storage system. With a higher power supplied the servers are now running under the by the vendor recommended conditions and boot without manual…
