<p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you are a member of the lab, or you use our cluster via ssh, big changes are afoot in 2014. This page describes what is happening, a tentative timeline, and answers some questions you may have. <br />
<br />
= Why = <br />
* Cluster 0 has accumulated structural problems that are not easy to fix in place.<br />
* Cluster 1 may not be available much longer.<br />
* Backups have become unwieldy.<br />
* Cluster maintenance has become very time consuming, and there has been considerable O/S and software drift, leading to complex idiosyncrasies.<br />
<br />
= What = <br />
* People will move their work from [[Cluster 0]] and [[Cluster 1]] to [[Cluster 2]].<br />
* Cluster 0 will remain available through the end of 2014. <br />
* As soon as Cluster 2 can replace 90% of cluster 0, hardware will be repurposed on Cluster 2. <br />
<br />
= Notes = <br />
* The clusters are being kept completely separate deliberately. <br />
* Cluster 2 has a higher level of security. <br />
<br />
= FAQ = <br />
* Do I have to move to Cluster 2 now? <br />
No, right now, we are still recruiting volunteers. When we get to the Cluster 2 = 90% (Cluster 0), we will start moving hardware over to the new cluster. What this means is that Cluster 2 will get more powerful and Cluster 0 less so. This is how we plan to gently incentivize you to move over. <br />
<br />
* What the current CPU counts? <br />
