As of June 2019, there are 217 nodes on Tufts HPC cluster with a total of 7752 CPU cores (with Hyperthreading) and over 32 TB of RAM. There are also 5 GPU nodes which have NVIDIA GPUs ( 2x Tesla K20Xm, 10x Tesla P100).

There are different partitions with different time limits:  
PARTITION TIMELIMIT  
batch\* 3-00:00:00  
gpu 3-00:00:00  
interactive 4:00:00  
largemem 7-00:00:00  
mpi 7-00:00:00  
preempt 7-00:00:00  
Job Limit: Users are limited to submitting 2000 jobs per user at any one time via the slurm scheduler (salloc, sbatch, srun).  
CPU Limit: User jobs are limited to accessing 256 CPU cores at any given point in time.
