Core label on OnDemand app is incorrect

The core label on the OnDemand app incorrectly displays as '1', regardless of the requested number of cores for a job. While this label is incorrect, the job is still allocated the correct number of cores as intended. We are actively addressing this issue and plan to deploy a fix later. For additional details, please refer to the bug report: https://github.com/OSC/ondemand/issues/4056

Final Migration of Abaqus, Ansys, LS-DYNA, and Star-CCM+ to Cardinal Cluster

On December 17, 2024, Abaqus, Ansys, LS-DYNA, and Star-CCM+ will be fully migrated from the Owens cluster to the Cardinal cluster. After this date, these applications will no longer be available on Owens and will only be accessible on Cardinal. Please ensure any necessary transitions are completed before the deadline. For migration assistance, please email oschelp@osc.edu.

OnDemand Upgraded to Version 3.1.9

OnDemand has been updated to Version 3.1.9 to ensure that user shell sessions will now automatically timeout after 8 hours regardless of activity. This update addresses an issue where SSH sessions could remain active beyond the token expiration time to comply with token expiration policies. If you encounter any interruptions to your workflow due to this change, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via email at oschelp@osc.edu.

Change is Coming!

Later this fall, OSC will be introducing a major change to the current process clients use to get help. We will be rolling out a new web-based system for clients to manage and review open cases with the service desk. More information will be forthcoming over the next few months, so keep an eye out for messages on various OSC communication channels, as well as at https://www.osc.edu/service_portal_deployment .

System Downtime August 6 2024

A downtime for OSC HPC systems is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, August 6 2024. The downtime will affect the Pitzer, Owens and Ascend Clusters, web portals, and HPC file servers. There will be a short outage of the state-wide licenses; MyOSC (the client portal) will be available during the downtime. In preparation for the downtime, the batch scheduler will not start jobs that cannot be completed before 7 a.m., August 6. Jobs that are not started on clusters will be held until after the downtime and then started once the system is returned to production status.
