Grace Maintenance - Multi-Factor Authentication
The biannual scheduled maintenance for the Grace cluster will be occurring Dec 5-7. During this time, the cluster will be unavailable. See the Grace maintenance email announcements for more details.
Multi-Factor authentication via Duo will be required for ssh for all users on Grace after the maintenance. For most usage, this additional step is minimally invasive and makes our clusters much more secure. However, for users who use graphical transfer tools such as Cyberduck, please see our MFA transfer documentation.
scavenge_gpu and scavenge_mpi
In addition to the general purpose scavenge partition, we also have two resource specific scavenge partitions, scavenge_gpu (Grace, McCleary) and scavenge_mpi (Grace only). The scavenge_gpu partition contains all GPU enabled nodes, commons and privately owned. Similarly, the scavenge_mpi partition contains all nodes similar to the mpi partition. Both partitions have higher priority for their respective nodes than normal scavenge (meaning jobs submitted to scavenge_gpu or scavenge_mpi will preempt normal scavenge jobs). All scavenge partitions are exempt from CPU charges.
Software Highlights
- IMOD/4.12.56_RHEL7-64_CUDA12.1 is now available on McCleary and Grace
