Center Announcements

Andes Is Available; Rhea Will Be Decommissioned

We are happy to announce the immediate availability of our new data analysis cluster, Andes. Andes contains 704 nodes with 2 AMD EPYC 7302 16-core processors and 256 GB of memory. All projects that currently have access to Rhea now have access to Andes, and you can log in to the new system immediately. Andes mounts the same user filesystems as Rhea, so no data movement is necessary. Andes can be accessed via ssh to andes.olcf.ornl.gov. A user guide with more information about the system and the migration schedule (including information about the high memory/GPU nodes) is available at https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/andes_user_guide.html.

With the availability of Andes, we would also like to announce that our older data analysis system, Rhea, will be decommissioned on January 15, 2021.

We encourage you to begin using Andes immediately. Please direct any problems or questions to the OLCF User Assistance Center at help@olcf.ornl.gov.
