Access
Interested in using MacLustr for research?
MacLustr primarily supports my own research. I am open to discussing collaborations and, where capacity and project fit permit, access for external researchers. Requests are reviewed individually; access is not guaranteed.
What a request can be about
Reproducibility experiments
Re-running a published result on different hardware.
Language-model inference
Open-weight models that fit in a single node's memory.
Comparative hardware benchmarking
The same workload across chip generations, from M1 Max to M6.
Distributed computing
Methods that need many real hosts rather than a simulation.
Academic collaboration
A joint project where the cluster is one ingredient among others.
Before any access is granted
- Data governance, security, licensing and scheduling are discussed and agreed first.
- There are no accounts, no self-service provisioning and no payment. This is not a commercial service.
- Capacity is limited and shared with my own work; a project may be declined or postponed.
- Availability is never guaranteed: the cluster can be stopped or reconfigured at any time.
