Holiday Configuration: Increased Queue Limits and Reduced Cluster Capacity

Published: 22 Dec 2025 by NEMO Team

NEMO2 Holiday Configuration

To accommodate the holiday period, we are making temporary changes to NEMO2’s configuration, balancing increased flexibility for users with energy conservation efforts.

Increased Queue Limits

During the holidays, queue limits are significantly increased to give you more flexibility. You can now submit up to 10,000 jobs and request larger jobs with more CPU cores. This allows you to make better use of the available resources during the typically quieter holiday period.

The increased limits will be automatically lifted on January 7, 2026, when standard queue limits will be restored.

Reduced Cluster Capacity for Energy Savings

To conserve energy during the holidays, we will shut down a portion of the compute nodes. Sufficient capacity remains online to process jobs throughout the holiday period, but please expect potentially longer queue times due to the reduced number of available nodes.

Questions or Issues?

If you have questions about the holiday configuration or experience any issues, please submit a ticket.

The NEMO Team wishes you happy holidays and a happy New Year 2026!
