Virgo cluster

Cosmo-ufes members have access to the local Virgo cluster, which was funded by FAPES and administrated by Renan Alves de Oliveira. At the moment Virgo features two identical nodes. We are planning to add more nodes soon.

Specifications:
2 x AMD Threadripper 2990WX (32/64 physical/logical cores) with 128GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, 4TB of HDD storage.
The nodes are connected via 10Gb Ethernet. Virgo uses the CentOS Linux distribution with the Slurm Workload Manager.
