Category:Cluster

We currently have three computer clusters, but aim to reduce this to two or even one.

• Cluster 0 also known as the legacy cluster is in San Francisco at UCSF. (was UCSF Cluster). It will shrink in 2014 as equipment is transferred to Cluster 2. In our perfect world, it will be completely gone in 2015.
• Cluster 1 is in the pharmacy building at U of T. (was UofT Cluster). Ask the sysadmins about this cluster for important information.
• Cluster 2 is in Byers Hall 101 and Genentech Hall 108 at UCSF aka "the new cluster".

Access clusters via sgehead if on campus, portals if off campus.

We also have access to the QB3 shared cluster:

• QB3 Shared Cluster aka Cluster 3.

We can also use commercial cloud clusters

• Amazon cloud EC2, which we affectionately refer to as Cluster 5
• Google cloud, which we call Cluster 6.

Need advice about which cluster to use? Ask the sysadmin.
