Sir Isaac Newton
(1643-1727)
The Newton Visualization Cluster is named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton who developed a theory of color based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colors of the visible spectrum.
Currently, the Newton GPU cluster consists of:
- 10 nodes each with dual NVIDIA Tesla V100 16GB PCIe GPUs (via U.S. DoD Army DURIP funding)
- 11 nodes each with dual NVIDIA Tesla V100 32GB PCIe GPUs (via UCF Tech Fee funding, and UCF Faculty contributions)
- 29 nodes each with dual NVIDIA Tesla H100 80GB PCIe GPUs (via U.S. Dept. of Commerce Economic Development Agency funding)
- Interactive visualization node with triple NVIDIA GTX980 GPUs driving 80-inch 3-D display
- 100Gb EDR/HDR InfiniBand interconnect
In addition, the UCF ARCC also provides:
- 600TB of configured storage
- 20Gb connection to UCF campus core network
- 250kW power with an uninterruptible power supply and generator
- 100 tons of dedicated cooling
