Teaching GPU cluster overview

The teaching GPU cluster consists of a head node and multiple GPU compute nodes. The head node is a CPU-only machine, while each compute node has multiple GPUs. The cluster is managed by the Slurm workload manager. To use the GPU compute nodes, users must submit jobs through the head node, tsubmit.math.private.uwaterloo.ca. The table below describes all nodes in the teaching Slurm cluster.
