The Institute for AI & Computational Research (IACR)—formerly known as CCR—and ITS Research Computing have expanded URI’s high-performance computing capacity with a major update to the Unity Cluster.
This upgrade includes:
With this expansion, Unity now supports approximately 520 nodes, totaling 28,000 CPU cores and 1,400 GPUs.
The newly added Grace and Grace-Hopper nodes feature energy-efficient ARM-based processors, designed to deliver strong performance while improving power efficiency—ideal for complex scientific workloads, AI research, and data modeling.
