The statewide academic license agreement for MathWorks products at Baden-Württemberg universities expires on March 31, 2026. There will be no general MathWorks license available on NEMO2 specifically. Universities and other clusters may handle this differently. Please consider using open-source alternatives or contact us if you hold your own license.

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.
