GPU[11-14] added to the cluster

[Predrag Punosevac]

Dear Autonians,

I just finished provisioning of four more GPU computing nodes GPU11,
GPU12, GPU13, and GPU14 purchased by Dr. Jeff Schneider. They appear to
be in working condition and I tested them lightly. Each server has four
of the latest NVidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU cards. They are so new that
the driver for them (430.40) was released less than 2 weeks ago. I
didn't bother to install MATLAB as support for these cards is likely to
be added no earlier than R2020a (I will try adding R2019b when it
becomes available) but sure enough all other scientific software we use
in the lab is there. 

The servers come with 2 x Xeon Silver 4210 (2.2 GHz, 10-core, 14MB L3
Cache) which means that you have 40 CPU thread on each server.
Unfortunately due to the budgetary constrains each server has only 96GB
of RAM which is less than our other GPU nodes but it is likely that we
will be able to add the RAM as funds become available. 

Cheers,
Predrag
