UAB Research Computing has good news to share! We are currently installing, configuring, and testing 40 A100 GPUs (20 nodes) on Cheaha, with a planned release date of "DATE".
Due to limitations on electrical power in the GPU node rack, we have taken 9 of the P100 nodes offline. The reduced capacity may lead to increased wait times for GPU jobs until the A100 nodes are released. We intend to repurpose the P100 nodes within our cloud platform to increase capacity there.
## Future Announcements
### Draft of future information
The new partitions will be the `amperenodes*` partitions and will mirror the existing `pascalnodes*` partitions. We anticipate a full release by `DATE`. For machine learning, deep learning and AI training, we anticipate up to 20 times previous throughput. Specific platform details must be used to achieve increased throughput. Additionally, until release, we will need to temporarily reduce GPU compute capacity on Cheaha. Please read on for more details about our transition plan and about the A100 GPU nodes.
