Teaching GPU cluster overview

The teaching GPU cluster consists of a head node and four GPU compute nodes. The head node is a CPU-only machine while each compute node has multiple GPUs. The cluster is controlled by the Slurm workload manager. To use the compute nodes you must submit jobs via the head node, namely tsubmit.math.private.uwaterloo.ca. Undergraduate students registered in non-CS Math courses may use these GPU servers. CS students should use CS-provided resources.
