2009-08-30: User Feedback Meeting
The UF HPC Center will have a "User Feedback Meeting" on Thursday, Sept. 10th at 2:00PM in NPB 2205. Mark your calendars and be sure to come and tell us what you like and dislike about working on HPC Center facilities; what is working well and what is not working so well. We want and need the feedback of our users! We will also answer questions of general interest regarding policies, procedures, job submissions and scheduling. We will be available following the meeting to discuss any more specific questions or concerns.

Charlie Taylor, UF HPC Center

Note: There will be freshly made cookies available immediately before the meeting at a cost of $0.50 each. Proceeds benefit the SPS (Society of Physics Students) who graciously allowed us to take their time slot in the conference room.

2009-07-06: UFHPC Scratch Maintenance
At 12:00pm we will be replacing some memory in one of the I/O nodes for the UFHPC Scratch filesystem. When this happens, it will cause /scratch/ufhpc to be inaccessible for 30 to 40 minutes or until Lustre recovery is complete. Most job processes using /scratch/ufhpc will simply block for I/O during this time. However, you should check all of your running jobs to be sure they are proceeding normally following the file system recovery.

2009-06-11: Many new publications
Many new publications have been added to the website of the last couple of days as mor e researchers respond to the requests sent out. Now, it is even easier to submit a publication that references the HPC Center by simply filling out the Publication Submission form online.

Research Spotlight
Dr. Paul Avery, Physics
Dr. Avery was the original HPC Center investor. His initial $200,000 investment combined with com- mitments from CLAS and OIT for staffing, additional equipment, and machine room improvements marked the creation of the HPC Center in 2004. Dr. Avery's vision was that of a shared-resource facility that could support his Open Science Grid research as well as the HPC community within the University. <more>
