System Status
December 16, 2024, 00:04 am EST: The Niagara scheduler has an issue; we are investigating. November 25-26, 2024: The SciNet data centre will require a full power shutdown in order to do work on the main electrical panel. We need to add new transformers and new switches to the main panel in preparation for the upcoming installation of the Trillium Supercomputer. The scheduler will hold jobs that cannot finish before the start of the shutdown. Users are encouraged to submit small and short jobs that can take advantage of this, as the scheduler may be able to fit these jobs in before the maintenance on otherwise idle nodes. We expect to be able to keep the login nodes and storage available throughout this maintenance, as well as any parts of the system that are supported by our generator. This means that some of the Niagara compute nodes may also be brought up during the work period, so that jobs can already start to run before the end of the power shutdown.
