The Lighthouse cluster supports researchers with grants that require the purchase of computing hardware. Lighthouse allows researchers to place their own hardware within the ARC high performance computing (HPC) Slurm environment.
The hardware added to Lighthouse is for the exclusive use of the research group that added it and will not be part of the general Great Lakes cluster allocation pool. (Lighthouse gives research groups the option of operating with access to commercially available software to be determined at the time of installation.)
