Compute capacity over 60 teraflops (DPFP; 38 cpu side, 25 gpu side)
Total memory footprint is near 7.5 TB

Tidbits
Bought deep U42 rack with AC cooling onboard and two PDUs
Pushed Angstrom rack (bss24) out of our area, ready to recycle that
Currently we have two U42 racks empty with power
Cooling needs to be provided with any new major purchases (provost, ITS, HPC?)
60 TB raw storage purchased for sharptail (/home2 for users with specific needs)
Everything is out of warranty but
All Infiniband ports are in use
