HCC is pleased to announce the general availability of the PLUMAGE resource as part of Swan. PLUMAGE (Promoting Learning Using Mixed Advanced GPU Environments) is an NSF-funded GPU hardware resource designed to enhance the ability of NU researchers to conduct cutting-edge science.

PLUMAGE consists of an initial fifteen nodes, each with four NVIDIA L40S GPUs with 48GB RAM. Thirteen of the nodes are available now in Swan as part of the general access gpu partition. In order to request L40S resources, please see the documentation page.

The two remaining nodes have been allocated to the National Research Platform to serve NU researcher needs there.

A further three nodes each with two NVIDIA H200 GPUs are also part of PLUMAGE, and expected to be available by the end of December.
