Mounted Storage Systems​

Please find the details on Greene's available storage offerings at the google sheets here:

General Parallel File System (GPFS)​

The NYU HPC Clusters are served by a General Parallel File System (GPFS) storage cluster. GPFS is a high-performance clustered file system software developed by IBM that provides concurrent high-speed file access to applications executing on multiple nodes of clusters.

The cluster storage runs on Lenovo Distributed Storage Solution DSS-G hardware:

  • 2x DSS-G 202
    • 116 Solid State Drives (SSDs)
    • 464 TB raw storage
  • 2x DSS-G 240
    • 668 Hard Disk Drives (HDDs)
    • 9.1 PB raw storage

GPFS Performance​

Read Bandwidth78 GB per second reads
Write Bandwidth42 GB per second writes
I/O Performance~650k Input/Output operations per second (IOPS)

Flash Tier Storage (VAST)​

An all flash file system, using VAST Flash storage is now available on Greene. Flash storage is optimal for computational workloads with high I/O rates. For example, if you have jobs to run with huge number of tiny files, VAST may be a good candidate.

Please contact the team hpc@nyu.edu for more information.

  • NVMe Interface
  • 778 TB Total Storage
  • Available to all users as read only
  • Write access available to approved users only

Research Project Space (RPS)​

  • Research Project Space (RPS) volumes provide working spaces for sharing data and work amongst project or lab members for long term research needs.
  • RPS directories are available on the Greene HPC cluster.
  • RPS is backed up. There is no file purging policy on RPS.
  • There is a cost per TB per year, and inodes per year for RPS volumes.

Please find more inforamtion at [Research Project Space page].
