Cluster 0

This page is about our legacy cluster at Mission Bay. We also have a Cluster 1 at University of Toronto and a new cluster Cluster 2 at UCSF.

Status

Cluster 0 is a legacy cluster that will shrink in 2014 and disappear entirely soon we hope. It predates many of the policies below. To this extent it is feasible, we intend to apply these policies retroactively to Cluster 0. However, the main idea is to get people off Cluster 0 asap and on to Cluster 2.

Priorities and Policies

• Lab Security Policy
• Disk space policy
• Backups policy.
• Portal system for off-site ssh cluster access.
• Get a Cluster 0 account and get started
