System update rollout on VUB-HPC clusters
- 22/05/2026
We are updating the operating system and Slurm scheduler on Hydra, Anansi and sofia with the latest security and bug fixes. The rollout will start on Friday May 22nd at 14:00 CEST and will be gradually carried out on all VUB-HPC clusters in the following days. This operation has a minimal impact on our users: compute capacity will be slightly lower during the update, but there will be no downtime of the clusters and all job queues will remain operational.
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.
New GPU nodes for interactive use on Anansi
