Just a heads up to you guys on SEBASE. I've heard second hand within my 
group that the YCCSA cluster has reliability issues, nodes going down 
and dropping jobs unexpectedly. Personally I have not confirmed this, 
but before you dive into sharing resources you may want to check that 
all is well. I've been out of the loop, but I also believe that YCCSA 
are in the process of acquiring some new very high computational 
capacity, though last I heard they had not yet decided between them what 
form this is to take, or where it is going to be yet (there was talk 
about having it off site, though I have a feeling that they decided 
against that).

Cheers,

Mark
