Job wait times on the Alliance clusters are impacted by several factors. The target share of an account in relation to its recent usage, availability of resources being requested and overall load on the system from all users are major contributors to wait time variances. This presentation builds on previous seminars regarding wait time assessments, this time with a focus on analytics that describe the dynamic states of the clusters as a whole.

The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The series began January 2023 and superseded similar series previously delivered by individual consortia (e.g. General Interest Seminars by SHARCNET or User Group Meeting TechTalks by SciNet). The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Presentations are usually recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel (colloquia hosted by SHARCNET go to our youtube channel).
