For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to welcoming you at the courses.

NEMO2 has officially launched, transitioning from a testing phase to full production with expanded hardware, including AMD Instinct MI300A and Nvidia L40A nodes. NEMO1 is being phased out, with limited resources available until May 31st. Users are encouraged to transition to NEMO2 and consult the wiki for details.

NEMO2 uses Miniforge for conda environments, offering a streamlined setup with conda-forge as the default repository. The Miniforge module auto-initializes conda, simplifying environment activation without modifying shell profiles.

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.
