Anunna is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_computing High Performance Computing] (HPC) cluster hosted by [https://www.wur.nl/ Wageningen University & Research]. It is open to all WUR research groups, and to other organisations and companies running 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).  
You reach the cluster over [[SSH Access|SSH]] at <code>login.anunna.wur.nl</code>, or through your browser at the [[Apps Portal]] (https://apps.anunna.wur.nl/).

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.
