New page

Gibson is VTLUUG's HPC/GPU machine. It is configured such that it can act as a VM host and a Docker host, with the intention that it should be used for compute-heavy tasks.

Gibson is a Dell Precision t7910 tower, with:

* dual 12-core Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v3 @ 2.60GHz, for a total of 48 threads
* 16 DDR4 RAM sockets, of which 4x8GB are filled with 3200Mhz.
* two 6-pin and two 8-pin PCIe power leads
* two built-in NICs
* four SATA(/SAS?) bays in HBA mode, presently with two 2TB drives in software (mdadm) RAID1
* an Intel Arc a770, 16GB vRAM (uses one 6-pin and one 8-pin)
* an Quadro K420, 2GB vRAM

It was purchased (sans GPUs) during the [[24-25_Finances|great spending spree of Fall '24]].

The following are not in the machine, but could be if you wanted to (and handled some power shenanigans):

* an NVIDIA Tesla p100, 16GB vRAM (takes one 8-pin CPU lead, which you can buy an adapter for, taking two 8-pin PCIe leads)
* some old AMD FirePro card, 2GB vRAM

/etc/os-release indicates that it is running 24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat).

It's sitting on the shelf right of our rack in [[Whittemore|WHIT]]'s 7XX server closet.
