[https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/national-services/compute/ Computing resources] which were installed between 2004 and 2015 and are scheduled to be decommissioned in the next few years are referred to as ''legacy resources''. The legacy resources are administered by regional organizations, one of [http://www.ace-net.ca/ ACENET], [http://www.ace-net.ca/ the Centre for Advanced Computing], [http://www.calculquebec.ca/en/ Calcul Québec], http://www.scinethpc.ca/ SciNet], [https://www.sharcnet.ca/my/front/ SHARCNET], and [https://www.westgrid.ca/ WestGrid]. To use a legacy resource you must have an account with one of these entities, which you can do through [https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/me/facilities this page]. Resources deployed during and after 2016 will not require this step, nor do the two [[CC-Cloud clouds]]. | [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/national-services/compute/ Computing resources] which were installed between 2004 and 2015 and are scheduled to be decommissioned in the next few years are referred to as ''legacy resources''.

Most [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/national-services/compute/ legacy clusters] are classified as either capacity clusters or capability clusters. ''Capacity clusters'' contain nodes connected to each other by a relatively slow Ethernet network, while the ''capability clusters'' have a fast network, usually InfiniBand. Large parallel jobs will run better on capability clusters than capacity clusters, while smaller jobs will run almost anywhere. | Most [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/national-services/compute/ legacy clusters] are classified as either capacity clusters or capability clusters.
