Greetings NERSC MPP User, As previously announced: http://www.nersc.gov/hypermail/all-announcements/0601.html Allocation Year 2005 (AY05) ends tomorrow night, Wednesday, November 30, at 23:59. AY06 begins at midnight. In order to process the final accounting records for AY05, the three NERSC MPP machines (Seaborg, Jacquard, and DaVinci) will cease user processing at 19:00 Wednesday night. User logins will be disabled and all user processes (both interactive and batch) will be terminated. The systems will all return to normal service shortly after midnight. The batch systems have been configured not to start any job whose requested time would take it beyond 19:00 on Wednesday. Thus, it will appear that jobs are starting out-of-order, as the schedulers looks for jobs that are guaranteed to complete before the shutdown. Depending on the current job mix in the batch queues, users may be able to get quick turnaround on short jobs. If you have any questions, please contact NERSC consulting at: 1-800-66-NERSC, menu option 3, 8 am - 5 pm, Pacific time (510) 486-8600, menu option 3, 8 am - 5 pm, Pacific time consult@nersc.gov http://help.nersc.gov/ -- Best regards, David Turner User Services Group email: dpturner@lbl.gov NERSC Division phone: (510) 486-4027 Lawrence Berkeley Lab fax: (510) 486-4316
