Biowulf High Performance Computing at the NIH
The plot below shows the CPU usage on the Biowulf cluster from 2012 onwards. The NIH HPC Expansion project was funded by the NIH Capital Investment Fund in 2014, with Phase 1 nodes installed and available to users in 2015. Phase 2 and Phase 3 resulted in significant expansions of the cluster, and consequently increased throughput of jobs and CPU utilization.
