We are simplifying the way that the multi-node parallel jobs are run on the cluster.
Currently, users wishing to run multi-node MPI jobs on the public queues must choose beforehand whether to run on the nxv parallel nodes or the sdv parallel nodes, and to configure the job accordingly for the number of cores on each type of node.
As part of our commitment to providing stable and manageable systems, here is a round-up of some recent updates we have been working on behind the scenes:
Since the last update in March, we have updated the following module files:
We are pleased to announce a new scratch storage array that is based on fast NvME based hardware. This will hopefully make I/O related tasks much faster
We have installed the NAG Fortran compiler on Apocrita for use by researchers from the School of Economics and Finance. In this post we look at how to access the compiler, why we may want to use it, and what we have to pay special attention to.
Since the last update (on 29/11/2018), we have updated the following module files:
On Wednesday 2019-02-20 at 14:00 we will be applying an upgrade to our GitHub Enterprise instance to version 2.16.2, which includes bug fixes and the latest security updates.
We have deployed the latest version of Environment Modules (4.2.1) across the cluster on all frontend and compute nodes.
As part of our commitment to regular upgrades to the HPC service, and to keep up with ever-growing demand, we are pleased to announce the addition of new hardware to the Apocrita HPC Cluster for the benefit of all QMUL Researchers.
