HPC Cluster downtime on Tuesday, April 27

[chtc-users@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Greetings CHTC users,

This message is for users of our high performance computing (HPC) cluster.

In order to incorporate new hardware, update network switches, and perform other general maintenance, there will be an HPC Cluster downtime on Tuesday, April 27, starting at 9:00am, and expected to last up to 6 hours.

To prevent jobs from being interrupted by the downtime, we are currently draining jobs from all cluster nodes. Starting today, submitted jobs requesting 7 days (or any time request that cannot be completed by April 27) will not start until the downtime is complete. Jobs can still run on the cluster, but only if their time request (â--time=â in the submit file) indicates that they will complete before next Tuesday, April 27.

We will send a reminder about the downtime on Monday, April 26, and a confirmation when the cluster is back up on April 27. Please contact us at chtc@xxxxxxxxxxx with any questions and concerns.

Best,
Your CHTC team
