WashU IT Research Infrastructure Services (RIS) is actively working on the delivery, installation, and configuration of hardware from each vendor. This is crucial in ensuring the cluster infrastructure meets Compute2’s highest performance, security, and reliability standards.

The RIS team has completed each vendor’s delivery, installation, and configuration of hardware and are working on configuring the new SLURM job scheduler and supporting systems. We will select early adopters for usability and performance testing to ensure our cluster infrastructure meets Compute2’s highest performance, security, and reliability standards.
The team is targeting June 2025 for general availability.
