Changelog

(26/09/2024) We found a bug that does not let jobs run while using srun. While we correct it, please use mpirun instead. You will need to load an OpenMPI module beforehand (e.g. ml OpenMPI). EDIT: this has now been solved.

(26/08/2024) Corrected a bug that allowed accounts made for a certain architecture to use other architectures. To check slurm accounts associated with a user run sacctmgr show Association where User=<username> format=Cluster,Account%30,User. The last letter of the account shows the architecture your account can access (a=arm; x=x86, g=gpu [a100 partitions]).

(13/08/2024) The login nodes (ln01 through ln04) are the only x86 nodes with internet access. For the arm partition, only the nodes in the dev-arm partition have access to the internet. Please download your files using these nodes.
