New GPU nodes added to Hydra
- 05/02/2026
We’re happy to announce the public availability of hopper_gpu, a brand new GPU partition in Hydra. This partition features 5 nodes, each equipped with 2 NVIDIA H200 GPUs (140 GB VRAM) and 48 CPU cores.
User limits on Anansi
- 04/02/2026
We have added new limits to the number of CPU cores and GPU resources a single user can request across all jobs on the interactive/debug cluster Anansi. The aim is to improve queueing times and to avoid situations where a single user submits many jobs and uses up the resources of Anansi, effectively blocking other users from starting their session on OnDemand or batch jobs.
Upgrade to Rocky Linux 9.7
- 27/01/2026
We are upgrading the OS and Slurm scheduler on Hydra and Anansi starting Tuesday, January 27. The rollout will start Tuesday night. User impact is minimal: there will be no downtime, and your running or queued jobs will remain unaffected.
