Overview
WildIris is a speciality cluster to enable outreach for INBRE researchers and Wyoming community college students. It can be securely accessed anywhere, anytime using SSH connectivity with two-factor authentication.
It is made up of hybrid machines (virtual and physical) residing on ARCCs virtual infrastructure and a number of physical compute nodes.
Node Summary
Physical nodes
There are 4 temporary nodes that provide the underlying physical layer that the virtual hypervisor sits on top of.
Type | Qty | Cpu | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|
Hypervisor host | 4 | 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz, 14c (28 cores total per host) | 128 GB per host |
Physical Compute nodes | 4 | 2x Intel Xeon Gold 5318Y 2.1GHz, 24C (48 cores total per host) | 512 GB per host |
Virtual Machines
The virtual cluster, what is actually visible to the users, is made up of the following adjustable values:
Type | Qty | Cpu | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|
Login | 1 | 4 cores | 32 GB |
Management | 1 | 4 cores | 32 GB |
Authentication | 1 | 4 cores | 16 GB |
Ondemand | 1 | 8 cores | 32 GB |
Compute (Virtual) | 4 | 16 cores | 64 GB |
Compute (Physical) | 4 | 48 cores | 512 GB |
WildIris Storage
The project is allocated 10 terabytes of storage, hosted on ARCC infrastructure over NFS.
