<div>Hi RCC Users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's the latest on the status of the HPC.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The cooling system in Sliger has been stable for over 12 hours, and we feel somewhat confident that it is safe to power on some HPC compute nodes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, FSU Facilities and the contractor are performing additional work and tests on the cooling system today, so we're being very cautious in case we need power the compute nodes down again.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are going to start with the owner based HPC nodes (in our "M" racks), and then move on to our general access nodes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will send another message out today if and when the following occur:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>the HPC is partially online and ready to accept job submissions, and/or</li><li>we need to power off the HPC nodes in response to another cooling issue.</li></ul>
</div>
<div>Either way, we will publish a notice no later than 6pm--probably sooner--with an update.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the meantime, all our other services (storage, VMs, etc) have been available for the past two days.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>The RCC Team</div>
