Fall 2014, $30K grant. Added 10/2/14.
Oliver met with Roald 10/1/14.
$30K grant is for 5 years.
Sol recently saturated, so extra compute nodes welcome.
He does expect a ramping up of needs by Martin come November as he will need to run large calculations.
Roald expects:
No change to the number of users (3-4 users over at least the next 2 yrs)
No change to the types of applications run (VASP, Gaussian, etc.)
No change in storage needs is expected.
He is not considering adding GPUs instead.
Action taken
Michael Hint has asked RedBarn for quotes, etc.
