Research and Teaching Unit Spending Plan 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16
Spending plan for the Research and Teaching unit for financial year 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16. This spending plan assumes that a virtualisation service (KVM) will continue to be provided (sufficiently resourced and funded) outside of the Unit. The unit is already extensively virtualised, physical servers that exist are there purely because of particular performance/robustness requirements.

Compute Cluster
In 2013 the compute nodes will be 6 and 7 years old, at some point they will start to fail and we will have to replace them or bin the cluster. The cluster no longer runs gridengine jobs so is now solely used for Hadoop/GPFS for a number of researchers and the Extreme computing course. -- TimColles - 07 Oct 2013Edit | Attach | Print version | History: r1 | Backlinks | Raw View | Raw edit | More topic actions
