8. Replacement Schedule of the New Supercomputer System(Reposting)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Our center is scheduled to terminate the service of a current supercomputer system
on Fri. July 15, 2022, and replace to a new system.
We are currently in the process of procuring the new system to operate
the new system in October 2022, however, we are unable to provide
any definite information at this time.
Please refer to the following URL for the provisional information.
The definite information is expected to be released around April 2022.
http://www.iimc.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/services/comp/supercomputer/coming_2022.html
The recent global shortage of semiconductors has caused price increase
and delays in the delivery of the equipment and the situation
have a significant impact on the procurement schedule for the new system.
Depending on the situation, the operation of the successor to the current
system A (Camphor2) may be delayed, and we may provide only the successor
to the current systems B and C (Laurel2 and Cinnamon2) and
small-scale systems equipped with an accelerator as of October 2022.
However, we expect to operate the successor of the current system A in early 2023,
please consider ensuring computing resources by using supercomputers of
other universities' infrastructure centers, cloud services, etc.
if necessary since we may not be able to provide sufficient computing resources until then.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the system replacement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
9. Disclosure of the failure status of the compute node(Reposting)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We have started to disclose the failure information of compute nodes
and affected job IDs on the following website.
https://web.kudpc.kyoto-u.ac.jp/problems
If a failure of the compute node is suspected,
please enter the job ID in the input field of the website.
If a job is terminated abnormally (or re-executed) due to the compute node,
the failure information which caused the failure will be displayed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
10. Call for Collaborative Research Project for FX700 "Trial Use" and "Small Node Use" for FY2021(Reposting)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ACCMS calls for proposals of the collaborative research project
for the “Trial Use" and the "Small Node Use" of the Fujitsu FX700
which is equipped with the same ARM processor as the supercomputer Fugaku
for research groups using our supercomputer with the Group Course in the fiscal year 2021.
The "Trial Use" of FX700 is intended to be widely tried by the users of our supercomputer
by making the application form simple.
The research report is also simplified and only operation report and performance report
of the executed application are required.
The collaborative research project for the "Small Node Use" will be adopted
from users who have already finished the operation confirmation of the application
on the "FX700 Trial Use". Submitted proposals are reviewed
by Supercomputer System Collaborative Research Planning Committee.
If your proposal is adopted, you will be required to submit a research report.
There is no cost burden for using this project.
Deadline for application submission: 5:00 p.m. on the 15th of each month
Please see the following URL for details.
