The Gautschi cluster will be unavailable on Tuesday, March 18th 2025 from 8:00am EDT to 5:00pm EDT. In order to prevent power failures, we have scheduled electricians to investigate the electrical issues that resulted in the Gautschi outage last weekend. Due to the nature of this work, we will need to power down the cluster.

A reservation has been created to ensure that this work does not interrupt any running jobs, however this reservation will prevent any job from starting until after the maintenance has concluded if the job's max walltime would take it past the start of maintenance . If you have work that must start before the maintenance, adjust your walltime requests accordingly.

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