Once you have been granted access to Traverse, you can connect by opening an SSH client and using the SSH command ( VPN required from off-campus): PU members who are part of a research group that has contributed to or has an approved project on Traverse can obtain an account by having the faculty member send a request to Any non-Princeton user must be sponsored by a Princeton or PPPL PI for a Research Computer User (RCU) account. Please include a few sentences about the nature of your code and whether or not it is GPU-enabled. PPPL members should write to request an account. There is no public portion to the cluster so accounts for non-PPPL research groups are generally not granted.

Traverse is 80% owned by PPPL and the remaining 20% was purchased with funds from a small number of Princeton faculty. To use the Traverse cluster you must obtain an account and then log in through SSH. The Traverse cluster is composed of 46 IBM POWER9 nodes with four NVIDIA V100 GPUs per node. Traverse is also available to Princeton researchers whose work is particularly suited to the architecture of this system either because it is very similar to the Summit cluster at Oak Ridge National Laboratory or because the application to be run can take particular advantage of the NVLink architecture. Programs that move a lot of data in or out of the GPU should see an especially large speed up. The Traverse cluster is primarily intended to support research at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL).
