Planned system downtime

The planned upgrade to the Lengau compute cluster is currently well underway.

Preparation for this upgrade started at the beginning of January and the aim is to add add five additional racks, i.e. 360 nodes, to Lengau. This is part of the original procurement plan for Lengau and represents the second stage expansion that will yield the full petaflop capacity of the machine. Integration of these additional racks to Lengau require downtime of the cluster from 17 February to 7 March 2017, i.e. the cluster will be made available to users again on the 7th of March 2017.
