NOVA is a 26 node high performance computing cluster with 720 cores, 3.5 TB memory and 36 TB of storage capacity in total. Of the 26 compute nodes, 22 are populated with dual socket 16 core Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2683 v4 with an Rpeak of 23.6 TF and 128 GB DDR4 memory per node and the remaining 4 nodes have single socket 4 core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5122 with an Rpeak of 1.8 TF and 192 GB of DDR4 memory per node. Interconnect is through Intel’s Omnipath (100Gb/s)
