Dear Shaheen Users,

We are pleased to inform you that the project filesystem is back in service following a successful extension.

We would also like to inform you of two upcoming planned outages:

  • September 12 Friday (09:00–18:00): Required for performance testing and tuning of the extended filesystem using new hardware. During these hours, login nodes and SLURM jobs will not be available.

  • September 23–26 (with an additional two-day at-risk period, 27-28): Required for maintenance related to HPE contractual obligations during the deployment of the GPU system. Please note that the GPU system will not be going into production during this year.

These outages are essential to ensure the continued stability and performance of Shaheen. 

We kindly ask all users and PIs to plan their work accordingly and thank you for your understanding and support.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at help@hpc.kaust.edu.sa
