An issue on our Lustre storage system has caused some data to be irrerovacbly lost.  Approximately 12TB (~6.5% of total storage) was affected.

Two events may affect the HPC and other RCC systems in the coming weeks: Chiller Maintenance and Hurricane Irma.

FSU is at increased risk of power outage during August.  If an outage occurs, RCC staff will turn off some systems in order to prevent damage.

We've recently purchased and implemented 64 new Lenovo nodes, adding 1,652 new Intel cores to our HPC cluster.  This brings the theroetical peak performance up to 264.6 TeraFlops.

We have upgraded MATLAB to the latest version, 2017a.  The new version is now available on HPC and Spear.

As part of the maintenance upgrade, we have upgraded many software packages on the HPC to newer versions.  Here is the complete list.

On our Spear systems, we are replacing NoMachine with a new utility: XPRA.

This May, we will conduct software maintenance on our HPC and Spear clusters.  We will also perform brief maintenance on our Lustre export nodes.  This maintenance will allow us to upgrade all of the software on our clusters to newer versions, and more.

We've released a new tool on the HPC login nodes to make it easy to see information about your account and which partitions/nodes you have access to.

All 76 nodes that were damaged during Hurricane Hermine last September have been replaced.  New nodes, purchased by Lenovo, are online and processing jobs.
