Limited job starts on previous HPC Cluster, transition to new cluster configuration

[chtc-users@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Greetings CHTC users,Â

The below pertains to users of CHTCâs HPC Cluster, for which users submit jobs via the aci-service-1.chtc.wisc.edu login node. Users of only the HTC System are welcome to ignore the below.

As previously announced, next week we will be transitioning all remaining hardware from the previous HPC cluster configuration to the new configuration. This means:Â

• We are currently draining jobs from all remaining nodes in the old cluster configuration. Jobs requesting 7 days (or any time request that cannot be completed by Nov 10) will not start. Jobs can still run on the old cluster nodes, but only if their time request (â--time=â in the submit file) indicates that they will complete before next Tuesday, November 10.Â

• If you have not already logged into the new cluster configuration and tried to run test jobs, please do so as soon as possible! After next week, the old cluster will not be available to run jobs -- you are less likely to experience interruptions to your work if you make sure everything is running smoothly on the new cluster now.Â

In addition, we are hoping to have user modules for the Intel compilers and libraries within the next few weeks, and we will send a separate email when these are available.

Please send any questions to chtc@xxxxxxxxxxx, as always, and join us at office hours (Tu/Th 3-5pm, https://go.wisc.edu/chtc-officehours).

Thank you,

Your CHTC Team
