The Colonial One High-Performance Cluster currently consists of 213 compute nodes accessible through four login nodes. Login nodes provide remote access through SSH, and file transfer services through SCP/SFTP and Globus. The cluster uses Dell C8000 chassis, with both C8220 (CPU nodes) and C8220x (GPU nodes) models. Additional cluster services are provided by a pair of management servers, serving virtual machine images off a dedicated SAN. Project-specific services requiring tight coordination with the cluster can be hosted within these systems - for example, license servers and front-end web portals are kept running for specific groups' needs.
