We have access to this space for upgrades and hardware maintenance.
We use remote racadm and/or ipmi to all machines for out-of-band maintenance.
Issues and work packages are tracked through our 'tissue' [tracker board](https://issues.genenetwork.org/) and we use git repositories for documentation, issue tracking and planning (mostly public and some private repos available on request).

## Octopus HPC cluster
-In 2020 we installed a small but powerful HPC cluster (Octopus) dedicated to [pangenomic](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.10.467921v1) and [genetic](https://genenetwork.org/) computations, consisting of 11 PowerEdge R6515 AMD EPYC 7402P 24-core CPUs (264 real cores).

Nine of these machines are equipped with 378 GB RAM and two have 1 TB of memory.
All machines have large SSD storage (~10TB) driving 100+ TB shared network storage.
All Octopus nodes run Debian and GNU Guix and use Slurm for batch submission.
