The RCD team is excited to announce that the new Palmetto 2 cluster is now online and ready for use. This marks the first major step in our transition from PBS to Slurm.
For those who need assistance with the transition, we have prepared a Slurm Migration Guide that explains the most important differences between the two clusters. We are also offering Palmetto 2 Onboarding sessions, which provide a live walkthrough of how to use the new cluster.
Please note that access to Palmetto 2 is controlled by ColdFront, our new allocation management system. Faculty members can create projects on ColdFront and grant other users on their projects access to Palmetto 2. Students will need to ask their faculty advisor or course instructor for assistance with this process. To get started, please see the Palmetto 2 Accounts page on our documentation.
We have also launched a New Open OnDemand instance for Palmetto 2, located at ondemand.rcd.clemson.edu.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to RCD by submitting a support ticket.
