 ILRI's high-performance computing "cluster" is currently composed of 7 dedicated machines:
   * **hpc**: main login node, "master" of the cluster
-  * **taurus**, **compute2**, **compute04**: used for batch and interactive jobs like BLAST, structure, R, etc (compute04 has lots of disk space under its ''/var/scratch'')
+  * **compupte2**, **compute05**, **compute06**: used for batch and interactive jobs like BLAST, structure, R, etc (compute05 and compute06 have the newest AMD EPYC CPUs)
-  * **mammoth**: used for high-memory jobs like genome assembly (mira, newbler, abyss, etc)
+  * **compute07**: used for high-memory jobs like genome assembly (mira, newbler, abyss, etc)
   * **compute03**: fast CPUs, but few of them
-  * **compute05**: batch jobs, has the fastest processors (AMD EPYC)
 To get access to the cluster you should talk to Jean-Baka (he sits in BecA). Once you have access you should read up on [[Using SLURM|SLURM]] so you can learn how to submit jobs to the cluster.
