7th bwHPC Symposium

7th bwHPC Symposium

Published: 9 Jun 2021 by HPC Team Freiburg

The 7th bwHPC Symposium will take place this year on

November 8, 2021

and will be hosted at the University of Ulm.

Even though the current trends in the COVID-19 pandemic give some hope, we will plan the symposium as an online event in order to be able to offer all participants sufficient commitment and safety.

The event will focus on the presentation of scientific projects and success stories carried out with the help of bwHPC high performance computing or the BaWü data federation, respectively. The event will also offer a unique opportunity to engage in an active dialog between the scientific users, operators of bwHPC services, and the bwHPC-S5 support centers.

The symposium will be free of charge and open to researchers from all scientific fields.

Up-to-date information on registration and agenda will be coming soon and will also be available on the symposium website:

We are looking forward to your participation.

Genoa Nodes Delivered

The AMD Genoa, Machine Learning and AI partitions for NEMO2 were delivered on December 4th. The acceptance of the storage has been delayed, so that NEMO2 could not yet start this year. However, calculations with the Milan nodes in NEMO1 are still possible.

End of Life and Milan Nodes in NEMO1

The Genoa partition for NEMO2 will be delivered on December 4th, at the same time all old NEMO1 nodes will be removed. To ease the transition, some new Milan nodes will be booted into NEMO1 environment and will remain available until at least January 31st. Users are encouraged to switch to the new Milan nodes and use the ‘milan’ queue for their jobs (-q milan). If demand increases, additional nodes will be added next week. The launch of NEMO2 is delayed due to unavailable storage, with further updates on testing and data transfer to follow once it becomes available.

Storage and Milan Partition Delivered

The Weka Storage and Milan partition have been successfully delivered for the new NEMO2 cluster. Testing, benchmarking, and system configuration will take place in the coming weeks. We anticipate starting with limited functionality and gradually expanding it over time. A portion of the old NEMO cluster had to be shut down to accommodate the installation of the Milan partition.
