Jupyter Service at OLCF
OLCF now provides a Jupyter service that allows users to easily explore data and create computational notebooks. Active projects can access the service via https://jupyter.olcf.ornl.gov. Documentation is available at https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/services_and_applications/jupyter/index.html. As always, if you have any questions or problems, please contact help@olcf.ornl.gov.

Andes Is Available; Rhea Will Be Decommissioned
As a reminder, Andes, our new data analysis cluster, is now available for use. Andes has 704 nodes with 2 AMD EPYC 7302 16-core processors and 256 GB of memory along with the 9 nodes from the older rhea-gpu partition. Andes can be accessed at andes.olcf.ornl.gov and a user guide is available at https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/andes_user_guide.html.

With the availability of Andes, our previous data analysis system, Rhea, will be decommissioned on January 15, 2021. Although Rhea remains available until then, we encourage you to move your work to Andes immediately.

Upcoming Scheduled Outages

There are no outages scheduled through Friday, December 25.
