There are 5 generally available machines on the SCF. Please consider your needs to decide which machine is best for your flavor of work.

• Agate—a 48 node machine for up to 36 core jobs (no interconnect)
• Mica—a small machine for debugging (8hr job limit)
• Jadeita—a machine for small jobs
• Magma—a machine for small to medium jobs
• Jade—a machine for large jobs (4 jobs/user limit)

Jade is now in General Availability mode and all jobs are scheduled per node in one pool. Remember you can run using qos=standby to get additional resources if there are a lot of empty nodes.
