Instructional/Educational Cluster
The Instructional Cluster Environment (“ICE”) is an educational resource that can be used by GT Faculty to teach courses related to high-performance computing.
ICE intends to provide students at the undergraduate and graduate level with an opportunity to gain first-hand scientific computing experience including HPC and GPU programming. It is configured with the same hardware and software as the Phoenix cluster in order to facilitate transitions between learning and research contexts. It is accessible through the terminal and through a web browser interface called Open OnDemand.
“I’ve been using PACE ICE for several semesters now and it’s an invaluable resource, like the wonderful set of NVIDIA H200’s. For several semesters I’ve worked with students in our Art & AI VIP class to set up various AI image gen tools on their accounts, such as SD Forge and ComfyUI. This is valuable experience for our students to have, particularly for CS students, who are likely to use these kinds of tools and platforms professionally. Getting work done over SSH to remote machines in the Linux command line is bonus practical experience for our students across all majors.”
