Exploring idea and value in moving select Chemistry clusters to CAC, from 248 Baker Lab.

Current purpose of this project, at this stage

We are investigating the degree to which CAC can host our high-performance research compute clusters reliably and cost-effectively.

History

12/22/2016

Oliver spoke to Lenetsky to open up a CAC Project so they can charge us. Pre-approved up to $10,000 for set-up and testing. (N.B. $20K would be too high.)
Sumitted CAC Project Request Form <https://www.cac.cornell.edu/services/Projects/Project.aspx>.
- Some of the text I entered.

Fall 2016

Started conversations on this topic, including with Chemistry researchers, CAC, and RedBarn.
Created flyer.
Consolidated 4 clusters under one head node (CLAW: Collum, Loring, Abruna, and Widom)
