The NCSU HPC Center has a big cluster. Why did we set up another one?

• Large memory nodes.
  • HPC is 2GB-4GB per core.
  • We have 8GB per core on the standard compute nodes.
  • Some nodes with more.
• No disk quotas or job time limits.
  • Allow users to grab whole nodes if they need to.
• Management flexibility:
  • Installing new software.
  • Allowing non-NCSU users easily.
• For use by the BCSC.

We have 400 cores in the HPC **brc** queue to which members of the BRC can get priority 
access. You might want to consider using those if the BRC cluster is full.
