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.

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

Rolling reboot of all clusters starting from June 14 2023

Beginning 9am on Wednesday, June 14, we will be having rolling reboots of all clusters (Owens, Pitzer, and Ascend). This includes both login and compute nodes and will be done to perform OS updates. Login nodes will be rebooted at 9am on June 14, which will leave them unavailable for approximately 5-10 minutes. The rolling reboots won't affect any running batch jobs, but users may experience longer than usual wait times on all clusters.

MRIcroGL

MRIcroGL is medical image viewer that allows you to load overlays (e.g. statistical maps), draw regions of interest (e.g. create lesion maps).

Availability and Restrictions

Versions

MRIcroGL is available on Pitzer cluster. These are the versions currently available:

dcm2nii

dcm2niix is designed to convert neuroimaging data from the DICOM format to the NIfTI format. The DICOM format is the standard image format generated by modern medical imaging devices. However, DICOM is very complicated and has been interpreted differently by different vendors. The NIfTI format is popular with scientists, it is very simple and explicit. However, this simplicity also imposes limitations (e.g. it demands equidistant slices).
