All NCAR HPC users are invited to the NCAR HPC User Group (NHUG) monthly meeting from 9 to 10 a.m. MDT on Tuesday, December 5th, 2023. CISL staff will share updates regarding GLADE file system transition and future NHUG updates. In this meeting, we will also hear from Dr. John Schreck, who will share their experience running distributed machine learning on Derecho GPUs. To contribute to the ag...
None planned for Cheyenne, Casper, Derecho, GLADE, Quasar, Stratus, or JupyterHub.
Cheyenne suffered a cooling distribution unit (CDU) failure over the Thanksgiving holiday, causing two racks of compute nodes to go down until repairs can be completed. Service is underway but the venerable machine is in a degraded state with less than a month until decommissioning. Until repairs are completed, network performance is expected to be somewhat degraded particularly for large node-...
Join NCAR's ViSR and GeoCAT teams at AGU23 for a tutorial entitled “Visualizing 2D and 3D Geoscience Data in Python.” The tutorial runs from Monday, December 11, to Friday, December 15. The deadline to register for the Geoscience Data tutorial is this upcoming Friday, December 1. To register, follow the directions in the NCAR tutorial announcement. The Geoscience Data workshop will guide par...
Now is a great time to switch to Derecho. Just in time for the New Year, Cheyenne will retire on December 31, 2023, to be replaced by the new supercomputer Derecho. The good news is that Derecho is 3.5 times more powerful than Cheyenne. However, the bad news is that researchers now only have a couple weeks left to wrap up all their computing projects on Cheyenne. It is officially the last m...
Cheyenne users now have less than a month to say goodbye to Cheyenne. Cheyenne will be retired on the last day of the year: December 31, 2023. This means that all users must wrap up their projects on Cheyenne by that time. That means it’s a great time to transition your computing projects to Derecho. Even more importantly, if Cheyenne experiences a crash or power loss from this point forward...
