NEMO Power Outage

Published: 8 Jul 2021 by HPC Team Freiburg

There has been a power outage in the morning of the 08.07.2021 (shortly after 7 o’clock). All worker nodes rebooted and all running jobs were killed instantly. Fortunately our storages for user homes and work spaces are backed up by an uninterruptible power supply so no data was lost. The cluster is fully operational again.

Update 2021-07-26:
Besides some people registering some short outages at home, as well, we haven’t seen any official announcement for this problem.

NEMO2 Production Mode

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 Conda

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.

Genoa Nodes Delivered

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.
