[HTCondor-users] Designing a new HTC cluster

[mtwest2718 <mtwest2718@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I realize a bunch of this would be worked out with the hardware vendor, do any of the sysadmins on here have recommendations on how to design a new system given a set of monetary and spatial constraints? I figure there has to be some sort of "configurator" out there.

The reason I ask is that I would like to advocate for a potential new system to be built for HTC workloads and would need some concrete throughput per dollar numbers to justify this change over just expanding the existing HPC system. And who better to ask than the community that does so much to advocate for high-throughput methods internationally?

Cheers,
Matt
