Overview

Describe what this page will instruct users on

...

ASU Research Computing (ASURC) will support faculty-purchased vendor hardware within the supercomputers, including supplying rack space, power, cooling, and networking. Faculty can purchase from the pre-approved compute nodes. These nodes are created into a private partition on the supercomputer that is available to the faculty member and supporting group.

Idle private partitions will be open to use by the ASU community.  Jobs submitted to private partitions will be guaranteed to run without preemption for at least 4 hours.

ASURC will support faculty-purchased hardware for as long as feasible; however, beyond the warranty period of the hardware, the faculty is responsible for any hardware and labor costs necessary to maintain the hardware. If Research Computing deems that it is not technically feasible to support hardware beyond the warranty period, it will be removed from the supercomputer.
