A paradigm shift in scientific discovery A few weeks before Jim Gray lost in his solo sail trip to Farallon Island near San Francisco in January 2007, this great American computer scientist and the 1998 Turing award winner had envisioned a paradigm shift in the practise of science as a Read more
Greeting HPC Users, The result for the HPC tests is now available at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H2ByiZTEw9b69q-4bndeuJE6JsE9LOO5FRTtVAtMYI4/edit?usp=sharing. Please note that one must pass all the tests in order to remove account limit. Retake for the tests will be available starting next week on 8 May 2023. Please note that retake is only possible again one Read more
Greeting HPC Users, We would like to remind again, all users that wish to gain and keep their full access to all the HPC resources should complete the new set of HPC tests by the end of April. All users with full access that did not complete or failed to Read more
Greetings HPC Users, In order to better protect the benefits of being a full HPC account owner, we have decided to make the following changes to all the limited accounts: These changes aim to minimise the impact of new users with limited accounts on the HPC resources, so that the Read more
Greetings HPC Users, This is a gentle reminder to remind that all HPC users are to complete the HPC tests by the end of April 2023 in order to remove the account limitation. The results will be reviewed and released next month. The links to the new tests can be Read more
Greeting HPC Users, We are currently experiencing network issues with our network ISP and are in the process of resolving the issue. There will be difficulties accessing servers located outside of DICC from within the HPC cluster. Some users might also be unable to connect to the VPN gateway due Read more
Greetings HPC Users, As mentioned in a previous email on 27 March 2022, we have redesigned the HPC tests in order to ensure users’ proficiency level in using HPC. All HPC users, including new and long-time users are all required to complete the new tests by the end of April. Read more
Greeting HPC users, It has been awhile since our last news and updates on the HPC. There has been a lot of stuff going on in DICC, so we will be describing some of the current issues we are tackling and the plan we have made in today’s write-up. HPC Read more
Greeting HPC Users, We have updated our HPC Service Guideline in order to keep all the service information relevant and up to date. The updated HPC Service Guideline can be accessed via the following URL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rcwAM7EXrnwF_Kj1fqKo6n-TuyK0NCVK/view?usp=sharing All HPC users are suggested to go through the updated service guideline to avoid Read more
Dear HPC Users, Recently we noticed a lot of interactive sessions were created and started via DICC OnDemand portal by many users, where significant of those jobs generate a huge amount of idle and unused time in the cluster. This is a waste in HPC resources. Based on our observation Read more
