Introduction

New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) High Performance Computing (HPC) Center serves New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) researchers, faculty and students by providing them with HPC services and support to help them conduct world-class computational research and education. The HPC Center provides its services through a medium-sized Linux cluster called Jubail - launched in March 2022.

Named after Jubail Island, Home of the Jubail Mangrove Park, the first self-contained educational, nature, and leisure destination of its kind in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

In Brief, it is a 3.9 PFLOPs (~49,280 CPU cores) cluster hosted at the NYUAD Data Center in Saadiyat, comprising 40 racks.

Node Type	Number	Specifications	Total PFlops
CPU	334 nodes	AMD EPYC Rome CPU (128 cores & 512GB RAM each)	1.4
GPU	178 GPUs	Nvidia Tesla V100, A100, H100 & H200 GPUs	2.5

The previous HPC Dalma cluster was integrated with Jubail starting from 10th of March 2022. The details of the previous HPC systems can be found here
