Cluster 8

We are still learning about FAC/coreHPC.

you will need to get separate (?) FAC and coreHPC accounts.

• FAC is for storage
• coreHPC is for compute
• it is more complicated than that, but it is a reasonable simplification.

• We collectively refer to FAC/coreHPC as "Cluster 8".
• our strategy with Cluster 8 is to upload ZINC on the fly, dock it, and then throw it away.
• ZINC thus lives on our cluster (Cluster 7, and legacy Cluster 2)
• The pipe to FAC is 100 Gbps, which allows 1 TB in 3 minutes, and 3 PB is 6 days.
• thus, ftp/dock/delete.
