Cooling

System migration completed

The Grex team’s migration log describes new water-cooled rack infrastructure in August–September 2024 and reports the system fully online on September 10. It does not specify direct-to-chip versus rear-door cooling.

Hardware

Documented inventory

Both 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 documentation

Grex’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.

Hardware

Conflicting documentation

The hardware table lists one two-GPU L40S node, while its narrative and the partition table indicate two such nodes. The documents conflict; no single installed L40S total is established.
