• Blue Waters Operations Transitioning

  Created by: jenos 2019-12-19 19:03:08 (Channels: mandatory|systemnotices|general|policychange)

  Hello Blue Waters partners,

  Today marks the conclusion of regular NSF Blue Waters operations and allocations.  Allocations ending today will be granted the normal 90 day grace period to transfer data off Blue Waters storage systems. After today, jobs remaining in the queue will be permitted to run but job submission will be disabled for expired projects.

  As Blue Waters transitions to support changing workflow needs for the NGA phase of operations, several policies and processes will be adjusted. Though they are detailed in the summary page linked below, additional notices will be issued near key timeframes.

  Transition summary: https://bluewaters.ncsa.illinois.edu/transition

  If you have questions about any changes, please submit a service request as normal to help+bw@ncsa.illinois.edu, but keep in mind that the upcoming holiday period may not have typical business hour response.

  As a final note, the Blue Waters staff has thoroughly enjoyed the challenges, innovations, enthusiasm, and breakthrough science experienced over the last seven years with everyone involved. Best of luck in the next stage of your research!
