Computing Infrastructure

Georgia Tech is home to the state-of-the-art, campus-wide PACE computing infrastructure, including the Phoenix research cluster  both located in CODA, home to the School of CSE.

Phoenix

The Phoenix cluster accelerates Georgia Tech’s computational research efforts in astrophysics, biology, health sciences, chemistry, materials, manufacturing, public policy, and other disciplines. Phoenix debuted in Fall 2020 with 1.84 Linpack petaflops of computing power, earning it a 277th ranking on the Top500.  
 
The cluster continues to grow with additional hardware. Phoenix's hardware specification includes 34,816 CPU cores from 1,395 nodes, there are 446 GPUs, including NVIDIA H200 flagship GPUs that are instrumental in accelerating AI and ML workloads.

Free-Tier Credits

Academic and research faculty are eligible for generous free-tier compute and storage accounts on Phoenix, providing 1TB of project storage and computational credits equivalent to 10,000 CPU-hours per month on a 192GB compute node. These credits may be used toward any computational resources (e.g., GPUs, high-memory nodes) available within the Phoenix cluster. Unused free-tier credits roll over each month, up to a maximum of 4 months’ worth of credits (40K CPU-hours equivalent).
