2021 OLCF User Survey
The annual OLCF User Survey is now open. The survey is conducted on behalf of the OLCF by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. We truly value your feedback and encourage all users to complete this important survey to help us know how to better serve our user community. The survey closes on November 15, 2021.

To take the survey, please visit https://orausurvey.orau.org/n/2021OLCFUserSurvey.aspx.

Meetings & Workshops

OLCF User Conference Call
Thanks for joining us for the October OLCF User Conference Call, during which OLCF’s Chris Zimmer presented Common Uses of Node-Local Storage on Summit and Some Tools to Help. If you’d like to review the slides and/or video for the call, you can find links to both at https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/training/training_archive.html.

Upcoming Scheduled Outages

  • Work will be performed on Slate (Marble and Onyx) from 9:00 AM until noon on Tuesday, November 9. During this work, Jupyter notebooks will be restarted, so in-flight processing will be halted but the notebook state will be stored. Otherwise, workflows should migrate between servers in the respective clusters and user impact is not anticipated. For more information on Slate, visit https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/services_and_applications/slate/overview.html.
  • Spock, Summit, Andes, the Data Transfer Nodes, and the Alpine Filesystem will be unavailable from 8:00 AM until 11:59 PM on Tuesday, November 9.
