3 K40M GPU cards on sirocco[03-04] nodes instead of 4 initially
Just a message to inform you that on sirocco[03-04] nodes, only 3 K40M GPU cards are now available instead of 4 initially because of a hardware problem on these nodes.
We are sorry for this inconvenience.
New nodes available
New compute nodes are now available (see https://www.plafrim.fr/hardware-documentation/):

Updated FAQ on storage spaces
The FAQ has been updated to describe all storage spaces available on PlaFRIM and the quota command to display their usage and limits.
Update for the squeue command
All,
Users are now allowed to use the squeue command on the devel nodes
through sudo, to display information about all jobs.
sudo squeue
squeue is the only command for which information about all users will
be made available to all, as its information are not a breach to the
GPDR related constraints.
Cheers,
The PlaFRIM team
Update on miriel and sirocco[01-05] nodes
Standard nodes miriel[001-088] and K40M nodes sirocco[01-05] are in best effort and without support, and will be removed from the platform when failing to start.
Changes for the information available through the squeue command
All, We are currently in a phase of compliance with the constraints related to the GDPR; this limits in particular the access to the slurm database. The tool squeue is impacted with this limitation. Users only see information about their jobs when making queries (this is also the case for all other slurm commands, scontrol, sacct...). The sinfo command can still be used to get an overview of the platform usage. The state of the nodes and a filtered output of the squeue command are available on the platform web page https://www.plafrim.fr/jobs-monitoring/ This page is currently being updated to report as much information as possible to the users. We will keep working on it in the coming days and weeks, to hopefully meet everyone's expectations. Please note this address is only available once signed in on the web site (you need to use the WP identifiers obtained at the account creation). Cheers, The PlaFRIM team
