SuperMIC

SuperMIC (pronounced as Super Mick) is an LSU supercomputer funded by an National Science Foundation's (NSF) Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) award to the Center for Computation & Technology.

SuperMIC is capable of a peak theoretical performance of over 925 TF. It achieved a performance of 557 TF during testing, which placed it as number 65 in the June 2014 Top500 List.

SuperMIC went operational on October 1, 2014. It contains a total of 382 nodes, each with two 10-core 2.8GHz Intel Ivy Bridge-EP processors. 380 compute nodes each have 64 GB of memory and 500 GB of local HDD storage. 360 of the compute nodes have 2 Intel Xeon Phi 7120P coprocessors. 20 of the compute nodes have 1 Intel Xeon Phi 7120P coprocessor and 1 NVIDIA Tesla K20X. LSU users will need to use their LSU HPC credentials to gain access to SuperMIC (see: LSU HPC account request), and require access to an LSU HPC allocation (see: LSU HPC allocation request) to run production jobs on the system.

Four compute nodes, each equipped with two Intel Skylake processors, two NVIDIA V100 GPU devices and 2 TB of NVMe SSD, were recently added to SuperMIC. Detailed description of these nodes can be found below.
