Baobab scheduled maintenance: 28-29 September 2022

Dear users,

The maintenance is now over, thanks for your patience.

What was done:

  • GPU nodes are now allocated based on their GPU model: base model first and high end latest. It is now possible to request minimum vram per GPU and specify if you want a simple or double precision model. See here for more informations. You’ll see a new column named “weight”. GPUs with low wight will be allocated first.
  • Preparation for the home storage quota enforcement. The actual enforcement will be done in the next few days. You’ll receive a notification.
  • Batteries replacement for scratch storage server
  • Slurm updated to version 22.05.3 (same version as Yggdrasil)
  • Kernel updated to latest version
  • BeeGFS updated to version 7.2.7
  • Mellanox updated to latest LTS version
  • All the nodes re installed
  • All the servers updated
  • Many bug fix (or not so many, as we don’t make mistakes of course:)

Have a nice day, happy computation day :smiley:
