The next stage of summer maintenance on the High Performance Computing systems is taking place next week.
The HPC cluster will be offline from 9.00am on Monday 22 August until 4.00pm on Wednesday 24 August. We will need to stop any jobs in progress and clear all queues in order to start the upgrade, so if you have any jobs that have not finished by Monday morning, please resubmit them when the work is complete.
The apollo and econ login nodes will remain available for most of the maintenance period, so there will be some access to HPC file systems, but the Lustre file system will be unavailable on Tuesday 23 August.
UPDATE: 24 Aug 2016 - 9:02am
The HPC maintenance shutdown has been extended to 5 pm on Thursday 25 August.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this extension may cause.
The HPC cluster is available for use following extended maintenance work.
This work took longer than anticipated, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
