NEMO2 Production Mode

Published: 14 May 2025 by NEMO Team

NEMO2 started slowly in January with only a few Genoa nodes and some test users until we went into production mode with Genoa nodes in April. In May, after the end of NEMO1, we also added most of the Milan nodes to NEMO2. This week we added our AMD Instinct MI300A APU and Nvidia L40A GPU nodes.

NEMO1 has reached the end of its life. However, there are still 25 Milan nodes and one Nvidia V100 node available until the end of May when we officially shut down NEMO1 (31.05.2025). After that, we will try to keep BeeGFS online for data transfers until we know when the new AI nodes will be delivered. But we will then shut down BeeGFS with only a few days notice. Please try to migrate your data by May 31st. After this date, we can no longer guarantee data availability.

If you still want or need to perform calculations on NEMO1 until May 31st, please write a ticket with your NEMO1 username. We will then activate your user for NEMO1.

The 12th bwHPC Symposium will take place on September 24th, 2026 and will be hosted by the University of Konstanz. Registration and call for abstracts are now open.

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.
