====== Cluster Hardware Overview ======

This page provides an overview of the hardware and partitions available on the cluster. The cluster is equipped with modern Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs to support a wide range of high-performance and GPU-accelerated workloads.

===== Partitions =====

The cluster is divided into several partitions, each with different CPU and GPU resources. All partitions currently have **no time limit** for running jobs.

^ Partition ^ CPU Cores  ^ GPU(s)                  ^ Notes ^
| **unite**   | Up to 80         | 4 x NVIDIA Tesla T4      | General-purpose, high-throughput jobs |
| **short**   | Up to 64         | 2 x NVIDIA Tesla T4      | GPU-accelerated jobs, smaller scale  |
| **a40**     | Up to 64         | 2 x NVIDIA A40           | AI/visualization,  GPU-intensive   |
