Current Usage Narrative

As of September 9, 2026:

  • Cluster 7: default for new users. Many things work here, and all of Cluster 2 is accessible read-only from Cluster 7.
  • Cluster 8: aka CoreHPC/FAC. Katie now has docking and 3D building working there. We have recently expanded to 50 TB.
  • Cluster 2: old default, most people are still using C2
  • Cluster 3: aka Wynton, you have about 5 month left. We strongly urge you to a. consolidate your footprint as small as you can on Wynton. Backup your data to C7 or C2.
  • Cluster 0: still in use, supports DUDE and not a lot else.
  • Cluster 6: aka Keiser. Rapidly shrinking. If you are still using Keiser cluster, please wind down, transfer files off, and stop.

Cluster 1 Toronto Cluster Closed 448/0 40 TB Defunct
Cluster 2 New UCSF cluster Closed 800/52 6.5 PB No new growth. Merge into Cluster 7
Cluster 3 UCSF Shared Cluster aka Wynton Closed 18,000/250 6 PB Wynton is end of life. Merging with cluster 8.
Cluster 5 Amazon Cloud ask John unlimited unlimited Commercial. Ask us. Watch out for bandwidth costs.
Cluster 6 Mike Keiser cluster Closed 100/50 1 PB End of life. being merged into cluster 7
Cluster 7 New Cluster 7 JJ/Khanh 100/8 1 PB Future main private cluster for our group
Cluster 8 FAC/coreHPC UCSF IT 16,000/350 1 PB UCSF replacement for Wynton
Cluster 9 Offsite experimental cluster John 64/4 1 PB off-site cluster

Access our clusters from secure machines only. If unsure, ask the sysadmins.
