More specifically, part of Melbourne's node of NeCTAR is used a partition for our HPC system, Spartan. We have tested cloud-bursting with a further partition (reading 'bursting' as the ability to quickly deploy a set of additional resources more or less "on demand"). We're introducing external cloud partitions as well to the system. Short version is the use of a cloud partition works really well for us, and in particular suits our user profile in terms of the jobs they run etc. All the best, -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GradCertTerAdEd (Murdoch), GradCertPM, MBA (Tech Mngmnt) (Chifley) HPC Support and Training Officer +61383444193 +61432255208 Department of Infrastructure Services, University of Melbourne _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
