Ascend
Beginning April 30, 2025, all College of Medicine (CoM) projects without a separate MOU established with OSC will be limited to running exclusively on the Ascend cluster, specifically on the nextgen partition. All CoM jobs run on Ascend’s nextgen partition at zero cost, with priority scheduling.
Pitzer
In late 2018, OSC installed 260 Intel® Xeon® 'Skylake' processor-based nodes as the original Pitzer cluster. In September 2020, OSC installed additional 398 Intel® Xeon® 'Cascade Lake' processor-based nodes as part of a Pitzer Expansion cluster.
