NEMO: normal operation with limitations

Published: 27 Aug 2025 by HPC Team Freiburg

Due to a malfunction of the main cooling system, the backup system is currently in use. As a result, only about 80% of the NEMO cluster is available at the moment. Because of the holiday season, there are still idle nodes that can be used.
Expired workspaces are moved to a "trash" folder and can be restored within 30 days.
You can use ws_restore to recover workspaces from the trash (ws_restore -l # lists all expired workspaces).
