In this section, we detail the hardware available at each of the servers. This information can be useful to predict how much speed-up you can expect when transitioning from your local computer to the servers, or from one server to the other.

Most of the information included here is accessible from your command-line access, where launching nvidia-smi, lscpu, lshw, cat /etc/fstab, or cat /proc/partitions will detail the included hardware and some of its specifications.

DGX-station server (ise-dgx.ee.kth.se)

Nvidia DGX-station

• Number of V100: 4
• VRAM Each: 32G
• Number of CPU: 40
• RAM Total: 252G

System SSD drive

• 1.8T mount on /

External SSD drive

• 3X1.8T raid0 array mount on /raid

GPU-equipped server 1 (gpu1.ee.kth.se)

Nvidia Tesla P100-PCIE-16GB

• Number of P100: 1

• VRAM: 16G

• CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 3.50GHz

• Number of CPU: 12

• RAM: 62.8kB

SSD

The partition table for the SSD is arranged as follows, loaded in /dev/sda.

Number	Start	End	Size	File system	Mount-point
1	1049kB	538MB	537MB	fat32	/boot
2	538MB	108GB	107GB	ext4	/
3	108GB	967GB	859GB	ext4	/data
4	967GB	1000GB	33.3GB	swap	none
Partition number 1 is the boot partition (mounted in /boot/). Partition number 2 is the system partition, where the system-wide installed programs are located. Partition number 3 is the fast data partition, where each user has a directory /data/*username* to place data or personal programs that will need to be loaded promptly to speed up experiments. This fast data directory is linked to each user's home directory as /home/*username*/fast_data. Partition 4 is SWAP space to ensure the system does not crash if the system runs out of RAM.

HDD

The hard-disk drive /dev/sdb of 3.6T only has one partition and is mounted in /home, containing most of the user files.
