Monthly maintenance on the Discovery system will take place on September 9th, instead of September 2nd, due to the Labor Day holiday. Discovery will be unavailable starting at 8am on the 9th. We hope to complete maintenance by 6pm on the 9th. If we are able to pull in this time frame, we will send out email to the Discovery email list.

 

Please make sure to add a time limit (–time=) to your scripts with a duration that is less than or equal to the time remaining before the start of the maintenance window so that you job will run. Feel free to reach out to us at rchelp@northeastern.edu if you need help with setting a time limit on your scripts.

Research Computing Infrastructure Enhancements: Letter from the AVP

As announced in our prior RC communications and April monthly newsletter, we are excited to share with you that our Research Computing team has significantly enhanced and modernized our computing infrastructure -- our new cluster, Explorer, has added 32 state-of-the-art NVIDIA H200 GPU chips and runs on a new, more modern operating system.
