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.

Two new GPU nodes with 8× NVIDIA H200, 192 cores, 1.5 TB RAM, and 3.8 TB NVMe are now available in NEMO2 for testing via the “h200” partition. No software modules are installed yet.

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.
