New Compute Farm Queues and Nodes

Users of the CLASSE Compute Farm might notice that we recently added four new CHESS queues to the Farm. These queues are dedicated to specific CHESS beamlines and are meant to supplement the general-purpose CHESS queues chess.q and chess_interactive.q. If your project could benefit from dedicated high-priority queues such as these, please inquire about purchasing nodes for the CLASSE Compute Farm by submitting a ServiceRequest.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
