There's a problem with datacenter cooling system. Frequencies will be reduced and unused nodes will be powered off during all week-end.

edit: Lake & Lake-premium are in drained mode for the WE: running jobs will finish, queued jobs will stay queued.

If it is not enough, Cascade & Cascade-premium will endure the same fate, or worst (poweroff…).

As of tomorrow (end of month), E5 partitions (E5-short, E5 & E5-long) will be stopped.

/scratch/E5N will be available on e5-2667v4comp[1-2] login nodes for another month (for users to retrieve data), then shutdown as well.

e5-2667v4comp[1-2] login nodes will stay available as long as possible, like x5570comp[1-2] login nodes.
