Announcement

. Cluster is available: (06/14/2009 @15:45) The ITS downtime of the Hill 107 data center ended on time and the ACCRE cluster is now back online.

There is one rack of PowerPC blades offline because ITS may need to RMA the power distribution unit for that rack. There is one rack of Opterons offline--it is the last rack to be relocated to improve airflow in the data center. Those Opterons will be relocated and brought back online during the week.

If you encounter any issues with the cluster, please submit a help ticket at:
