Day-long Downtime for HPCF

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 08:43:48 -0500

To All Taki Users,

The Taki cluster will be down from 8AM on Monday, January 25 to 5PM on Tuesday, January 26. This downtime will allow HPCF Administrators and an external consultant to upgrade critical software packages that manage various aspects of the cluster computing environment.

We do not expect that the upgrades will take the entire allotted time. The extra time allows us to navigate any difficulties with the upgrades. We will update the user community when the cluster is back online with a similar posting to this myUMBC Group.

Please note: All running jobs will be terminated, so plan long-running jobs accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding,

Roy Prouty

HPCF System Administrator
Research Computing Specialist
