Purdue Anvil CPU
Purdue University
Resource Type: Compute
User Guide: https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/anvil#docs
Recommended Use: Anvil's general-purpose CPUs and 128 cores per node make it suitable for many types of CPU-based workloads including the most common modeling and simulation codes across all science and engineering domains. Memory-intensive workloads can be executed on the large memory nodes on Anvil. Anvil’s Composable Subsystem which is a Kubernetes based private cloud consists of both CPU and GPU nodes and large (S3) data storage. The Composable Subsystem is suitable for applications such as model inference service (via NVIDIA Triton), Specialized LLMs, dataset hosting, science gateways and web application hosting, and classroom and training applications via interactive access interfaces.

Description: Purdue's Anvil cluster built in partnership with Dell and AMD consists of 1,000 nodes with two 64-core AMD EPYC "Milan" processors each and delivers over 1 billion CPU core hours each year, with a peak performance of 5.1 petaflops. Each of these nodes has 256GB of DDR4-3200 memory. A separate set of 32 large memory nodes has 1TB of DDR4-3200 memory each. Anvil's nodes are interconnected with 100 Gbps Mellanox HDR100 InfiniBand.
