Bell Maintenance Application Version Announcement

  • Announcements
  • Bell

As part of Bell's upcoming maintenance, we will be upgrading the operating system from CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux 8 which requires us to rebuild the applications hosted on Bell. As part of this application rebuild, we will be removing old and unused versions of our applications and upgrading many of them to newer versions. We have compiled a list of those affected software below.

If you have any questions about the upcoming maintenance, please reach out to us at rcac-help@purdue.edu.
