DROP cluster

Drop is:

With 7 nodes at 8 cores each, DROP is designed for non-interactive queue-based parallel supercomputing.

Drop is not:

For anything that is interactive, uses less than 8 parallel cores per job, is not queue-able, or generally takes less than a few nights to run on your desktop, you had better use one of the stand-alone servers.

Drop has only scratch storage. Move important data to a different server. Anything on /data/ can be deleted without notice.

Kindly note that this cluster comes 'as is' with no support from IT, Joeri or Jason.

File systems

/export/home/<user>

RAID6, 20GB/user quota, nothing ever auto-deleted

/data (crossmounted over all nodes) = RAID0, unlimited space

RAID0, 5TB, no quotas

heaviest users will have older data auto-deleted by semi-random script, so better clear it out yourself
