Beginning Thursday, April 9, 2026, we will be working with our vendor to troubleshoot a technical issue with the Research Space quota system. No outage is anticipated; however, you may notice periodic slowdowns while we troubleshoot this issue. This message will be updated as troubleshooting continues, and will be resolved once the quota system is returned to normal operation. If you experience any issues accessing a Research Space or Project directory during this time, please open a ticket.

Over the next several weeks, ICER will be performing minor operating system updates across all nodes in the HPCC. During this time, users may notice longer queue times and some nodes unavailable in Slurm while they are being updated. Once the updates are complete, nodes will be returned to service and jobs will continue to schedule and run. Because these are minor updates, the software and module system is unaffected. No issues have been identified in initial testing, but please open a ticket if you experience any issues.

The HPCC will be unavailable on Thursday, May 7 starting at 5AM for regularly scheduled maintenance. No jobs will run during this time.

Jobs that will not be completed before this date will not begin until after maintenance is complete. For example, if you submit a four day job three days before the maintenance outage, your job will be postponed and will not begin to run until after maintenance is completed.

If you have any questions, please contact us
