Good evening,

I was hoping this was the right spot to gain some advice. A little background:

I am a high school science teacher at a public school. Over a year ago, I had a crazy idea to bring a "slice of supercomputing" into my high school for students and teachers to use. I knew that I would never be able to actually set up an honest "supercomputer" that is massively parallel, but I believed that I could bring in some of the same hardware that could actually be found in various high-end computers/supercomputers. Students could utilize the workstation for ANY academic purpose (they can schedule times on it for AI, coding, design work, etc) and teachers could remote login during the day and use it for any classroom purpose. Free access for all.

I did not know how much money I could raise for this project, but we ended up being extremely successful (but I want the project to keep expanding!). The workstation is now fully operational and now we are working to implement it fully for student use. We are also putting in a 220v line to maximize electrical efficiency and trying our best to come up with a great cooling solution (it has to be in a secured case).

My goal of this project is to ALWAYS have this workstation benefitting someone, with an obvious focus on student/teacher use. That being said, it is too great of a tool to sit idle when not in use. Because I am a science teacher, I was already aware of WCG. I have formally received the "okay" to implement this software in classrooms in my school with a focus on the science of the projects and the computing aspects of it.

Although I have tested the workstation on the WCG, I am now working to "fine tune" the performance. We want to maximize the science being completed. I would love if there were more projects on the WCG that implemented the GPUs but I know there are other projects out there that do.

Here is my question- what advice can you all offer to maximize science output of this new workstation? This workstation has only one purpose- benefit the community and world. So, how can we best do that? Here are the specs:

Chassis: Dell Precision Tower 7920
CPU: DUAL Intel Xeon Gold 6258R 2.7GHz,(4.0GHz Turbo, 28 core) = 56 cores, 112 threads
RAM: 512GB DDR4 2933MHz ECC
GPU: DUAL Nvidia RTX A6000, 48GB each, soon NVLinked = 96GB
Storage: Four (4) M.2 1TB PCIe NVMe Class 50 Solid State Drive in RAID 10 along with a storage array that features ten (10) 1.92TB SATA AG Enterprise Solid State Drives in RAID 10
Display: 8K, 32 inches

I know some of you might wonder why I went Intel- we did not have much of a choice when it came to allowable options.

It's a monster. Let's do science! Thank you for any advice you can offer.
