Partner: Unity DS4CG 2023. Unity is a collaborative, multi-institutional high-performance computing cluster, primarily used for research computing. The Unity project focused on generating useful metrics and analysis for Unity by building a pipeline to a database that could power a live dashboard for Unity’s admin staff. Metrics included unnecessarily idle GPUs, daily and weekly node usage, total resource usage, and wait time. Additionally, a prediction model for wait time at job submission time was built.
