Ohio Supercomputer Center
A downtime for OSC HPC systems is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, August 6 2024. The downtime will affect the Pitzer, Owens and Ascend Clusters, web portals, and HPC file servers. There will be a short outage of the state-wide licenses; MyOSC (the client portal) will be available during the downtime.
In preparation for the downtime, the batch scheduler will not start jobs that cannot be completed before 7 a.m., August 6. Jobs that are not started on clusters will be held until after the downtime and then started once the system is returned to production status.
Highlights of the downtime activities include:
- OS and firmware updates on critical infrastructure
- InfiniBand network changes to improve performance for the scratch file system
- Routine system maintenance
- Patch R version < 4.0 on Owens and Pitzer to address CVE-2024-27322 vulnerability
