3. Everyone wants more infrastructure

Lessons Learned for Scientific Computing

“my cluster is not big enough...”- every scientist

“buying a bigger cluster is too expensive...”

- every IT department

“my queue wait time is too long...”- every scientist

“that’s the only way I can run efficiently...”- every IT department
