The compute nodes from CBCB's previous standalone cluster have folded into Nexus as of mid 2023.
The Nexus cluster already has a large pool of compute resources made possible through college-level funding for UMIACS and CSD faculty. Details on common nodes already in the cluster (Tron partition) can be found here.
Please contact staff with any questions or concerns.
Submission Nodes
You can SSH to nexuscbcb.umiacs.umd.edu to log in to a submission host.
If you store something in a local directory (/tmp, /scratch0) on one of the two submission hosts, you will need to connect to that same submission host to access it later. The actual submission hosts are:
nexuscbcb00.umiacs.umd.edunexuscbcb01.umiacs.umd.edu
Nodes
All nodes in CBCB-owned partitions (see below section) owned by CBCB faculty are named in the format cbcb##. The sets of nodes are:
- 22 nodes that were purchased in October 2022 with center-wide funding. They are cbcb[00-21].
- 4 nodes from the previous standalone CBCB cluster that moved in as of Summer 2023. They are cbcb[22-25].
- A few additional nodes purchased by Dr. Heng Huang since then. They are all remaining 'cbcb' named nodes.
| Nodenames | Quantity | CPU cores per node (CPUs) | Memory per node (type) | Local storage per node (type/location) | GPUs per node (type) |

| cbcb[23-24] | 2 | 24 (Dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4) | ~256GB (DDR4 2400MHz) | ~800GB (SATA SSD /scratch0) | 0 |
| cbcb25 | 1 | 24 (Dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4) | ~256GB (DDR4 2400MHz) | ~1.4TB (SATA SSD /scratch0) | 2 (1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 1x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti) |
| cbcb26 | 1 | 128 (Dual AMD EPYC 7763) | ~512GB (DDR4 3200MHz) | ~3.4TB (NVMe SSD /scratch0), ~14TB (NVMe SSD /scratch1) | 8 (NVIDIA RTX A5000) |
| cbcb27 | 1 | 64 (Dual AMD EPYC 7513) | ~256GB (DDR4 3200MHz) | ~3.4TB (SATA SSD /scratch0), ~3.5TB (NVMe SSD /scratch1) | 8 (NVIDIA RTX A6000) |
| cbcb[28-29] | 2 | 32 (Dual AMD EPYC 9124) | ~768GB (DDR5 4800MHz) | ~350GB (SATA SSD /scratch0), ~7TB (NVMe SSD /scratch1) | 8 (NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation) |
| Total | 30 | 1060 (various) | ~49TB (various) | ~94TB (various) | 34 (various) |
Here is the listing of nodes as shown by the Slurm alias show_nodes (again, all nodes are named in the format cbcb##):

Partitions
There is only one partition available to general CBCB SLURM users. You must specify this partition when submitting your job.
- cbcb - This is the default partition. Job allocations on all nodes except those also in the below-mentioned partition are guaranteed.
There is one additional partition available solely to Dr. Heng Huang's sponsored accounts.
- cbcb-heng - This partition is for exclusive priority access to Dr. Huang's purchased GPU nodes. Job allocations are guaranteed.
QoS
CBCB users have access to all of the standard job QoSes in the cbcb partition using the cbcb account.
The additional job QoSes for the CBCB partition specifically are:
highmem: Allows for significantly increased memory to be allocated.huge-long: Allows for longer jobs using higher overall resources.
Please note that the partition has a GrpTRES limit of 100% of the available cores/RAM on the partition-specific nodes in aggregate plus 50% of the available cores/RAM on legacy## nodes in aggregate, so your job may need to wait if all available cores/RAM (or GPUs) are in use.
Jobs
You will need to specify --partition=cbcb and --account=cbcb to be able to submit jobs to the CBCB partition.

Storage
CBCB still has its current storage allocation in place. All data filesystems that were available in the standalone CBCB cluster are also available in Nexus. Please note about the change in your home directory in the migration section below.
CBCB users can also request Nexus project allocations.
Migration
Operating System / Software
CBCB's standalone cluster submission and compute nodes were running RHEL7. Nexus is exclusively running RHEL8, so any software you may have compiled may need to be re-compiled to work correctly in this new environment. The CBCB module tree for RHEL8 may not yet be fully populated with RHEL8 software. If you do not see the modules you need, please reach out to the CBCB software maintainers.
