What is gold
The Gold Allocation Manager is an open source accounting system developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as part of the Department of Energy (DOE) Scalable Systems Software Project (SSS). It tracks resource usage on High Performance Computers and acts much like a bank, establishing accounts in order to pre-allocate user and project resource usage over specific nodes and time-frame. Gold provides balance and usage feedback to users, managers, and system administrators. SQLite is used by default, but Gold can be configured to use either MySQL or PostgreSQL instead.
