Data Center Shut Down and Savio Downtime: Fri, 3/28 (5pm) - Tues, 4/1 (8am)

Our campus data center will temporarily shut down on Sunday, March 30, for essential generator work. In conjunction with this work, the Savio cluster will also be offline, starting Friday, March 28, at 5 p.m. until Tuesday, April 1, at 8 a.m. Pacific. A scheduler reservation is in place to ensure no jobs run after 5:00 p.m. on March 28th. If you plan to submit jobs, please ask for proper wall time to complete them before the downtime. Otherwise, your jobs will wait in the queue until the cluster is back online.

Savio is back online: Thurs, 3/13

We have restored the Savio cluster and it is back online. However, your jobs might have failed due to an abrupt power down. Please check your jobs and resubmit or restart if you have checkpoint files. Once again thank you for your patience and understanding.
