Pitzer
The Slurm upgrades during rolling reboots of Ascend, Owens and Pitzer we performed today (Oct 25 2023) cause all running jobs on the systems requeued around 8:45am. You will not be billed for the consumed resources before the jobs were requeued.
Rolling reboot of all clusters starting from Oct 25 2023
We will have rolling reboots of Ascend, Owens and Pitzer clusters including login and compute nodes, starting from 9AM Wednesday October 25, to perform NVIDIA driver and Slurm upgrades. At the start of the rolling reboot all login nodes will be unavailable for about 10 minutes. The rolling reboots won't affect any running batch jobs, but users may experience longer queue wait time than usual on the clusters.

HOWTO: Run Python in Parallel
We can improve performace of python calculation by running python in parallel. In this turtorial we will be making use of the multithreading library to run python code in parallel.
HOWTO: Use GPU in Python
If you plan on using GPUs in tensorflow or pytorch see HOWTO: Use GPU with Tensorflow and PyTorch
This is an exmaple to utilize a GPU to improve performace in our python computations. We will make use of the Numba python library. Numba provides numerious tools to improve perfromace of your python code including GPU support.

System Downtime August 8 2023
A downtime for OSC HPC systems is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, August 8, 2023. The downtime will affect the Pitzer, Owens and Ascend Clusters, web portals, and HPC file servers. MyOSC and state-wide licenses will be available during the downtime. See this link for more details: https://www.osc.edu/calendar/events/2023_08_08-system_downtime_august_8_2023
