For users of our HPC cluster, we would like to announce a planned outage. The cluster will be unavailable from 14.01.26 to 15.01.26.

What is carried out

During maintenance, we carry out the following work:

  • Network cabling: Conversion work to optimise the network structure.
  • Firmware updates: Updating the firmware on all cluster components.
  • Software updates: Updating the installed software modules (modules).

Impact on your jobs:

The new software version becomes the standard after maintenance. This means:

  • Option 1: Adapt your job scripts to load the new software modules (see "module av" after maintenance).
  • Option 2: Add "module load 2024" as the first module in your job scripts to retain the previous software stack.

We ask for your understanding for this necessary work.
