Endeavour Resource Overview
The Center for Advanced Research Computing’s high-performance computing condo cluster, Endeavour, comprises compute nodes that are dedicated for use by researchers that subscribe to or purchase them. For information on CARC’s Condo Cluster Program (CCP), see the Condo Cluster Program pages.
For general CARC system specifications, including information on our file systems and operating system, see our High-Performance Computing page.

Final configurations of system specs will depend on system availability from the vendor.
0.0.2 Job limits
Job limits on Endeavour are more flexible than on Discovery and can be configured on a partition basis, but we still must enforce time limits for system maintenance purposes.
Default run time if no run time is specified: 1 hour
Maximum run time: 14 days
Maximum number of jobs or job steps (running or pending): 100
More information on Endeavour jobs can be found in the Running Jobs user guide.
