FW: Kelley Engineering Center - High Performance Computer Update

Cluster users, Just in case this didn’t post earlier, please see message below from Wade Marcum. Rob Yelle HPC Manager From: Marcum, Wade <Wade.Marcum(a)oregonstate.edu> Date: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 9:40 AM To: cluster-users(a)engr.orst.edu <cluster-users(a)engr.oregonstate.edu> Cc: Marcum, Wade <Wade.Marcum(a)oregonstate.edu> Subject: Kelley Engineering Center - High Performance Computer Update Dear Cluster Users- We continue to invest in our High-Performance Computer (HPC) to support our users and the world-class research and scholarship that results. To this end, we have developed a policy (following best-practices) that articulates the approach we will be implementing moving forward - a 'condo-model'. This policy is intended to provide clarity and transparency for all users on hardware purchase, usage, and lifecycle. This will, over time, impact all existing servers installed in the KEC HPC, however, it should not impact your ability to utilize our community HPC in an adverse way. I encourage you please review the policy posted at the following link: https://it.engineering.oregonstate.edu/kec-server-room-equipment-policy<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fit.engine…> Best Regards, Wade

24 Sep '24

Cluster users, The next cluster maintenance is scheduled for the week of September 23. The maintenance activities planned for this time include: Operating system updates OnDemand HPC portal upgrade Slurm update and configuration changes Nvidia driver updates BIOS and firmware updates as needed Miscellaneous hardware maintenance as needed The entire cluster will be offline starting Monday, September 23 at 8am, and will remain offline until approximately Tuesday the 24th at 4pm. Jobs scheduled to run into that offline period will remain pending with the message “ReqNodeNotAvail, Reserved for maintenance”. If you wish for your Slurm job to start and finish before the offline period begins, you will need to adjust your time limit accordingly, e.g. to change to 2 days do: scontrol update job {jobid} TimeLimit=2-00:00:00 Alternatively, you can cancel your pending job, adjust your walltime (using the --time option) and resubmit. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.
