As of 12:30pm, engineers have completed maintenance and have returned the BrownGPU cluster back to normal service. All queues have been enabled and jobs have resumed scheduling. Please report any issues to rcac-help@purdue.edu

Link to original posting ORIGINAL:

The BrownGPU cluster will be unavailable beginning at Friday, February 1st, 2019 at 8:00am EST, for emergency maintenance. The cluster is expected to return to full production by %enddatetime%.

During this time, BrownGPU will have critical security patches made to the operating system.

Any PBS jobs which request a walltime which would take them past Friday, February 1st, 2019 at 8:00am EST will not start and will remain in the queue until after the maintenance is completed. Any jobs which are still running at Friday, February 1st, 2019 at 8:00am EST will need to be terminated. Unfortunately, due to the critical security nature of the work, these patches cannot be postponed to allow for normal job completion.
