Instability on Clusters after May 13 Downtime

We've been experiencing some instability on the clusters (particularly Cardinal and Ascend) following the recent May 13 downtime, especially with parallel job processing. If you notice any unusual behavior with your jobs, please contact OSC Help.

Upcoming OS Migration May Impact Classroom Services

We will perform an OS migration that will affect our classroom services. If you plan to run classroom projects at OSC using the Jupyter or RStudio app this summer, please contact oschelp@osc.edu as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.

Change is Coming!

Later this fall, OSC will be introducing a major change to the current process clients use to get help. We will be rolling out a new web-based system for clients to manage and review open cases with the service desk. More information will be forthcoming over the next few months, so keep an eye out for messages on various OSC communication channels, as well as at https://www.osc.edu/service_portal_deployment .
