Current activity

1) CRCF to advise on what system would work. Do within 2 weeks of 3/4/13. RedBarn and Dell. Informed by applications used. ~$5.

2) CRCF to explore possible opportunities for mutual benefit, including:

CRCF provision a shared head node so researchers only need to invest in compute nodes.
Discuss with existing cluster owners if they'd prefer we "add" to theirs and share, rather than remain stand-alone. Example is Kyle's cluster.
