Endeavour Resource Overview
The Center for Advanced Research Computing’s high-performance computing condo cluster, Endeavour, comprises compute nodes that are dedicated for use by researchers that subscribe to or purchase them. For information on CARC’s Condo Cluster Program (CCP), see the Condo Cluster Program pages.
1 Compute nodes
The CCP offers both an annual subscription-based pricing model and a traditional system purchase pricing model, and the Endeavour cluster includes nodes for both pricing models. Below are the specifications for each model.
1.1 Subscription model
| Model | CPU cores | GHz | Memory | Price per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo NX360 | 16 | 2.6 | 64 GB | $800 |
| Lenovo NX360 | 20 | 2.6 | 64 GB | $1,000 |
1.2 Purchase model
CARC can order compute resources on your behalf for your research needs. The most up-to-date CPU models are available for purchase. Most CPU models have dual processors, 32 or 64 cores, and can be configured with many different GPU combinations.
Submit a ticket and we will work to accommodate your needs and budget.
2 Job limits
Job limits on Endeavour are more flexible than on Discovery and can be configured on a partition basis, but we still must enforce time limits for system maintenance purposes.
Default run time if no run time is specified: 1 hour
Maximum run time: 14 days
Maximum number of jobs or job steps (running or pending): 100
More information on Endeavour jobs can be found in the Running Jobs user guide.
