Reminder: HPC Cluster transition beginning Tuesday, Oct 13

[chtc-users@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Greetings CHTC users,Â

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

We are less than one week away from opening up accounts on the updated HPC cluster configuration! As a reminder, the new configuration of the cluster will include an updated operating system (CentOS7), version of Slurm, new head nodes, all-new modules, and a new filesystem with a separate location for user software installation. Execute nodes from the old cluster configuration will be swapped to the new configuration (leaving the old cluster) on the following planned schedule:Â

Oct 13-14: âunivâ (retired) and half of âuniv2â partition nodes transitioned to new configuration

Oct 15: users granted access to new login nodes (hpclogin1/2.chtc.wisc.edu);

Oct 27-28: all researcher-owned hardware transitioned

Nov 10-11: all remaining (univ2) hardware transitioned

Nov 24: accounts disabled on aci-service-1/2; accounts/data subsequently deleted;

Contact us at chtc@xxxxxxxxxxx with any questions or concerns.Â

Best,

Your CHTC team
