Older versions of R to be removed on Owens

Following the report of vulnerability CVE-2024-27322 in the R programming language, we have applied security patches to older R versions, with the exception of the versions listed below. These unpatched versions will be removed from the Owens cluster by Oct 9 2024. If you are using any of the versions slated for removal, please migrate your R workflows to a secure version as soon as possible. R Versions to be Deleted from Owens Cluster: R/3.3.1 R/3.3.2 R/3.4.0 R/3.4.2; R/3.5.0 under intel16, R/3.6.0, R/3.6.0-gnu7.3. RStudio Versions to be Deleted from Owens: 3.3.2, 3.4.2, 3.6.0

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 .

OSC Classroom Support

CLASSROOM RESOURCES FOR DISTANCE LEARNING If your class has lost or limited access to computer labs, the Ohio Supercomputer Center might be able to help by providing no-cost access to cloud computing resources. Classes and workloads of any size can gain access. OSC's web-browser interface to its substantial Linux computer systems provides novice users with virtual desktops preloaded with applications, such as MATLAB, RStudio, or Jupyter Notebook. As an example, an OSU undergrad statistics class recently used iPads to remotely access RStudio on OSC systems.
