SDSC Paragon
Data about 115,591 jobs submitted from January 1995 to December 1996, collected by Reagan Moore and Allen Downey and including several flurries. The system is a 416-node Intel Paragon machine. Originally this data was provided as two logs for separate years. Due to anonymization, user IDs may be inconsistent in the two years. Therefore we only use the 1995 data when user data is important.
