Dear Shaheen Users,
This is a reminder about the upcoming scheduled maintenance for the Shaheen system, which will be unavailable for running jobs from October 13th to October 21st.
This extended maintenance is part of a major system upgrade, including updates to the programming environment, workload scheduler, firmware, and the management subsystem. Due to the scale of this upgrade, many HPC applications will require extensive testing, and we anticipate that the outage may extend through to October 21st.
Please note that while access to the login nodes will be available most of the time during this period, the compute nodes will not be available for running jobs.
Additionally, the scratch filesystem will be unavailable for the first three days of the maintenance period.
We encourage you to plan accordingly and reach out to us at help@hpc.kaust.edu.sa if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
