The Agrogenomics cluster is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_computing High Performance Computer] (HPC) infrastructure hosted by [http://www.wageningenur.nl/nl/activiteit/Opening-High-Performance-Computing-cluster-HPC.htm Wageningen University & Research Centre]. It is open for use for all WUR research groups as well as other organizations, including companies, that have collaborative projects with WUR.

The Agrogenomics HPC was an initiative of the [http://www.breed4food.com/en/breed4food.htm Breed4Food] (B4F) consortium, consisting of the [[About_ABGC | Animal Breeding and Genomics Centre]] (WU-Animal Breeding and Genomics and Wageningen Livestock Research) and four major breeding companies: [http://www.cobb-vantress.com Cobb-Vantress], [https://www.crv4all.nl CRV], [http://www.hendrix-genetics.com Hendrix Genetics], and [http://www.topigs.com TOPIGS]. Currently, in addition to the original partners, the HPC (HPC-Ag) is used by other groups from Wageningen UR (Bioinformatics, Centre for Crop Systems Analysis, Environmental Sciences Group, and Plant Research International) and plant breeding industry (Rijk Zwaan).

* [[Courses]] that have happened and are happening
* [[Downtime]] that will affect all users

== Using the HPC-Ag ==
=== Gaining access to the HPC-Ag ===
Access to the cluster and file transfer are done by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell ssh-based protocols].
* [[log_in_to_B4F_cluster | Logging into cluster using ssh and file transfer]]
* [[Services | Available features and services on the HPC]]
* [[Filesystems | Accessible storage methods on the HPC]]

== Access Policy ==
[[Access_Policy | Main Article: Access Policy]]

Access needs to be granted actively (by creation of an account on the cluster by FB-IT). Use of resources is limited by the scheduler. Depending on availability of queues ('partitions') granted to a user, priority to the system's resources is regulated. Note that the use of the HPC-Ag is not free of charge. List price of CPU time and storage, and possible discounts on that list price for your organisation, can be retrieved from CAT-AGRO or FB-ICT.

=== Cluster Management Software and Scheduler ===
The HPC-Ag uses Bright Cluster Manager software for overall cluster management, and Slurm as job scheduler.
