Sycamore Cluster
New as of January 2025, MPI capable CPU compute cluster that replaces Dogwood.
Sycamore is a Linux-based computing system available for Research at Carolina with
- more than 14,000 compute cores
- 117 TB system RAM across 78 nodes
- 400-gbps low latency high bandwidth network fabric
- fast /work file system
Sycamore provides an environment optimized for large, multi-node, tightly coupled computational models using a message passing (e.g. MPI) or hybrid (OpenMP + MPI) programming model.
Two different CPU types are available, Epyc 9654 and Epyc 9684x
Technical details can be found in the Sycamore System Overview (PDF).
Resources are managed through a fair-share algorithm using SLURM as the resource manager, or job scheduler.
