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.

FIDO2 SSH keys are now available on NEMO 2! Login with your Yubikey hardware token - no 2-factor unlock required. Keys work immediately after registration and provide enhanced security through hardware-protected authentication. Get started with our Quick Start Guide.
