Introduction
BIMSA Compute Cluster (BCC) is a mid-powered, shared and scheduled cluster that aims to serve BIMSA academic and research activities. During Nov-2023, IT department at BIMSA conducted a survey on compute needs to faculties. Upon completion, IT has consolidated the needs, sought for possible solutions, allocated budgets from management, prepared and conducted a fair tender, evaluated the optimal solution, submitted for approval and finally exercised procurement processes. The cluster was acquired afterwards, properly configured and deployed.

1. BCC is charged according to the following scheme:
- CPU ¥0.07 per core per hour
- GPU ¥2.00 per card per hour
