Good afternoon all,
A reminder to all users, tomorrow (September 3rd) will be our scheduled downtime from 0800 to 1800. During this time, users will not have access to the cluster, and new jobs may not be submitted. Additionally, jobs submitted that were already submitted and run into the downtime may be cancelled, so checkpoint your data if you have any jobs running.

During this time, DoIT will be making the following changes:

•Changing how chip-gpu's slurm allocations work

•Implement changes that will improve availability of the cluster to users

As always, remember to submit any issues you have here: https://rtforms.umbc.edu/rt_authenticated/doit/DoIT-support.php?auto=Research%20Computing
