We are calling for the application of the service course for FY2022 in the following schedule.

Please note that we may ask you to adjust the amount of resources that you request

depending on the situation since each course has its limitation

in available computing resources.

We appreciate for your understanding and cooperation.

›To users who will end the supercomputer service in the current fiscal year

Please back up your files yourself since you will not be able to log in

to the system after the period of use.

Limited access by sftp and rsync will be available until the end of May.

Data of users and groups who will not continue the service

will be deleted sequentially from June.

 

Subject to deletionF

- Home directories of users who will not continue the service

- Large volume disk space for personal/group/private cluster courses

  who will not continue the service

 

›To all users who will continue the supercomputer service in the next fiscal year

We will migrate the file assets during the upcoming system replacement.

Migration of a large number of files requires a lot of time.

To shorten the service suspension period, please help us to organize unnecessary files.

It is especially important to reduce the number of files.

It would be helpful if you could reduce the number of files by combining multiple files

into a tar file.

We are conducting a satisfaction survey for the supercomputer users

to respond to the needs of the supercomputer users more.

We would appreciate if you could answer the following questionnaire.

We will refer to your answers to provide better services.

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.

https://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.

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.

ACCMS calls for proposals of the collaborative research project

for the gTrial 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 2022.

 

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
