This week saw our HPC cluster exceed two thresholds. We went over 16 million total computational hours as well as 500,000 current computational hours. This last figure is the amount of CPU hours our clusters are dealing with right now. When we started back in 2010 it took us over 2 years to achieve in total what we're currently dealing with right now as an active workload.

This is not the first time our cluster has broken 1/2 a million active hours, the last time being in early 2015 with almost 600,000 hours.

Since the addition of the C6145's to hex we've seen a linear increase of about 6 million CPU hours per year with an average of 75% utilization of all cores and 92% efficiency over all 1.6 million jobs. The large jump in 2014 was a mathematician completing her PhD in cosmology.
