  • 2 GPU nodes with AMD MI210 (2 GPUs/node)

Storage

Each user has 15GB on their home directory as well as 100GB of scratch directory.

There is also a project directory that is shared among all users at /storage/ice-shared/vip-vxp/

Connecting to ICE

SSH

The most common way to connect to ICE is via ssh, which allows you to establish a secure connection from your local computer (client) to the ICE system (server).

Suppose our GT email is [email protected], then our username to log onto ICE will be gburdell23. We can connect to ice by:

ssh [email protected]

The ssh client will prompt you to enter your password. This should be your GT account password.

If you are not on campus network, GT VPN is required.

Web-based User Interface

ICE also provides several web-based services such as Jupyter (Python, Julia and R), Matlab and Rstudio.
