Hardware
Documented inventoryBoth technical tables describe V100-equipped groups: two nodes with four 32 GB GPUs each, three contributed nodes with four 16 GB GPUs each, and one contributed node with sixteen 32 GB GPUs. This is documented configuration, not an independent hardware audit.

Hardware
Conflicting documentationGrex’s hardware page lists two groups of two A30 nodes with two GPUs per node; the partition page instead lists four A30 GPUs per node for one contributed group. The documents conflict, so no single A30 total is published.
