HPC Cluster and Data Migrations

ARCC services will be undergoing substantial upgrades in the coming months. We are in the process of making our new HPC cluster MedicineBow (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 the following page: Upgrade and Expansion 2024 .
PI request and approval are required for completion of both migrations. Please review https://arccwiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOCUMENTAT/pages/2102722579 for a full list of important dates and https://arccwiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOCUMENTAT/pages/2099871826 for migration policies that may impact you and effect migration completions. Go-Live dates for Data and Thunderer are as follows.

June 1st, 2024: New storage system “Data” go-live.

July 1st, 2024: New HPC cluster MedicineBow (Working name: Thunderer) go-live.

Again, it is important that researchers review important dates and policies. Please review the pages linked above and contact arcc-help@uwyo.edu for any clarification, or with any questions or concerns.
