Savio HPC Cluster is Back to Service: Fri, 2/21

We have completed the scheduled DDN work, including replacing cables and updating firmware. Savio services have been returned, and your jobs have started running. Remember that Global Scratch is almost running at its maximum capacity. Please remove unnecessary files and directories to help us keep the file system running optimally so that you can conduct productive research.

Savio Downtime: Thurs, 2/20-Fri, 2/21, 2025

DDN engineers will visit the data center to perform cabling work on the Savio parallel file system, which is expected to resolve ongoing filesystem issues. We will shut down the file system at 8:00 AM on Thursday, February 20, and return the service by 5:00 PM on Friday, February 21. A Slurm reservation is in place to prevent jobs from running during the downtime. If you plan to submit jobs, please request proper walltime for them to be completed before 8 AM on February 20. Otherwise, your jobs will wait in the queue until the cluster is back online.

Globus Returned to Service: Wed, 1/15

Globus is back in production and available to users on Savio.
