ARCC Researchers,
ARCC services will be undergoing substantial upgrades in the coming months. We are in the process of making our new HPC cluster (working name: Thunderer) and data storage (working name: Data) system available for ARCC users. These new systems will eventually replace our existing systems, Beartooth and Alcova. To find more detailed information about these changes, visit this page.
There are a number of important dates that researchers should be aware of. Please see this page for a full list of important dates that may impact you. Some of these dates are listed as follows:
June 1st, 2024: New storage system “Data” to be generally available for use and ARCC will being working with users to begin migration from Alcova to “Data” and “Thunderer” enters beta testing.
July 1st, 2024: New HPC cluster “Thunderer” becomes generally available to all UWyo researchers and ARCC will begin working with users to migrate from Beartooth to “Thunderer” including invested hardware.
August 1st, 2024: Alcova data should be completely migrated to the new storage system.
December 15th, 2024: All Investment nodes, allocations, and project data currently hosted on Beartooth must be migrated to the new cluster.
To make the transition as smooth as possible, we ask that all existing projects migrate or request assistance by the following dates:
July 1st, 2024: Data currently hosted on Alcova should be requested and scheduled for migration.
October 1st, 2024: Deadline for projects in Beartooth to begin migration
Please review ARCC’s migration policy here for important dates and more detailed information.
