The FOCI Cluster (formerly "IDEA Cluster") is a high performance computing environment consisting of six virtualized compute servers hosted by two AMD servers in various configurations ranging from 24-40 cores (48-80), 256GB-1TB RAM, and up to four GPUs per machine (Nvidia Ampere A100 GPUs). The FOCI Cluster includes one dedicated storage server totaling more than 40TB of usuable space. The IDEA Cluster is designed for dedicated data mining, machine learning, and neural computing-intensive jobs using popular toolkits.
FOCI Cluster "power" users, please be mindful of how you are consuming limited resources! The FOCI Cluster is NOT intended for large, "production" research computing. For that, RPI provides world-class assets such as those available via the CCI. If you have computing jobs on the Cluster that are preventing other users from getting their work done, you will be asked to migrate your work to the CCI. The FOCI Cluster is ideal for prototyping large jobs whose ultimate destination is the CCI.
