An SSH configuration issue on the login nodes has been fixed. SSH keys stored in local authorized_keys files are no longer accepted. This behavior was never intended - please use SSH keys configured in login.bwidm.de instead.

Over the holiday period, we’re increasing queue limits to 10,000 jobs while reducing cluster capacity for energy savings. Normal operation resumes automatically on January 7, 2026.

NEMO2 has undergone a rolling upgrade with security, firmware/BIOS, and Slurm 25.05.5 updates. We planned and executed all steps to keep downtime for users as minimal as possible. Running jobs continued without interruption throughout the process.
