The Seismo Lab maintains a networked system of linux multi-core computational workstations and high-memory compute server (32 cores, 256 GB memory, 192 TB storage). Equipment is constantly upgraded and full-time technical staff help ensure that science proceeds smoothly.
Seismo Lab members also utilize the UCSC Hummingbird open access cluster as well as the lux high-performance compute cluster installed at the UCSC Data Center. The Hummingbird cluster is freely available to UCSC staff and students and consists of 500 Intel cores (1 node of 44 cores, 2.2 GHz, with 256 GB memory and 19 nodes of 24 cores, 2.2 GHz with 128 Gb memory) as well as 288 AMD cores (2 nodes of 48 cores, 192 GB memory and 3 nodes of 64 cores, 256 Gb memory). Th lux Dell system features 108 nodes, each with 2x 20-core Intel Xeon Gold 6248 (Cascade Lake) CPUs, 192GB RAM, 2.4TB SSD local scratch space, and 100 GB/s Mellanox HDR non-blocking Infiniband networking. The group also regularly receives allocations through ACCESS on national supercomputing resources, such as at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) and Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC).
