Announcements

To ensure stable system performance, we have changed the node configuration on NVwulf to reserve two cores for system processes. Please ensure that job allocations request no more than 62 cores per node.  Requests for more than 62 cores per node will result in an error stating, "Unable to allocate resources: Requested node configuration is not available."

SeaWulf virtual office hours are resuming for the Fall semester!

Members of our HPC Support team will be holding virtual office hours at the following times:

• Tuesday 2 - 3 pm
• Friday 2 - 3 pm

If you have questions or need assistance troubleshooting a SeaWulf problem, you may use this link to attend the office hours during either of the above times slots.

Due to recent high temperatures, a portion of the SeaWulf compute nodes has been taken offline to prevent data center overheating. Most affected jobs have been requeued, but we recommend checking your job status and resubmitting if needed. The compute nodes will be brought back online over the next few days, as weather permits.  All login nodes remain available.

Thank you for your understanding as we take these necessary precautions to protect the system.

Virtual office hours have ended for the Spring semester.  New office hour times will be announced again in the Fall.

As the first phase of preparations for upgrading the SeaWulf storage, we will be performing preventative maintenance starting at 9:00 AM on Wednesday May 21^st and concluding later that afternoon. During the maintenance window the Login nodes will be off-line, running jobs will be terminated, and the SeaWulf storage will not be available.

We thank you for your patience while we perform this necessary maintenance.

Due to a scheduled team event, there will be no virtual HPC support office hours on Friday, May 2nd.  Virtual office hours will resume on Tuesday of next week.

In order to allow the university to perform a generator test on the campus data center, the 28-core, Tesla k80 gpu, Tesla p100, and Tesla v100 queues and login nodes login1 and login2 will be going offline for scheduled maintenance at 4pm on Monday, February 24th. The maintenance is expected to conclude by lunch time on Tuesday, February 25th.  

The 40-core, 96-core, a100 gpu queues will NOT be impacted by this maintenance. Similarly, the milan1 and milan2 login nodes will continue to be available.

We thank you for your patience while these necessary tests are conducted.

As of December 23rd, 2024 we will no longer be supporting Intel Parallel Studio on SeaWulf. Existing applications built with Intel Parallel Studio will not be affected by this change. However, moving forward we recommend use of Intel oneAPI for access to the Intel Compilers, Intel MPI, or MKL. Please run the command "module avail intel/oneAPI" to see the different versions available.

Please note: for use of the "Classic" Intel compilers (icc, icpc, & ifort), please load version 2023.2 or earlier, as these compilers have been removed in later versions.
