12 machines of the new Truchas cluster, Spanish for trout, have
not just been an upgrade from the older Turing cluster, they have
give the group a new purpose. They should evolve into a development
type cluster to evaluate applications like the Maui scheduler as
well as providing workstations and serving as a computational engine. |
The Truchas Cluster is a group of 12 machines that serve dual purposes.
The cluster acts as workstations for workshop attendees and also as
a computation engine for naturally parallel jobs. These jobs are scheduled
through Condor, which migrates the jobs to other machines when the cluster
is used for a workshop. The primary users of the Truchas Cluster are
workshops, research assistants, general access for AHPCC accounts, Condor
HPC users.
