We are planning an upgrade to the HPC software stack between the Summer, 2023 and Fall, 2023 semesters. We'll announce specific dates and a maintenance schedule as we get closer to August.

As a reminder, FSU will be closed for the Winter holiday, starting Wednesday, December 21 though Monday, January 2. We will resume regular working hours on Tuesday, January 3.

During this break, our systems will remain online and functional with the exception of the storage maintenance we are performing from December 26 - 30. Details are on this page.

UPDATE: Jan 19, 2023 - 12pm - All residual issues have been resolved with the new SpectrumScale GPFS 3 PetaByte storage system. Thanks for your patience.

UPDATE: Jan 5, 2023 - Thanks for your patience while we worked to get the Globus and Spear services back online. We are pleased to report that both are operational now.

Globus users, please note that we had to change the endpoint names. If you are an existing Globus user, you will need to update your client. The names have changed as follows:
