Our upstream network provider is performing work on the links that provide Pawsey's primary Internet connection. There may be one or more brief interruptions to access to Pawsey during this time as we switch to alternative paths. Internal connectivity between Pawsey resources (Such as Setonix to Acacia) will not be impacted. Jobs on our HPC systems will continue to be scheduled and launched but may have deteriorated access during this window to talk to off-site licence servers. Posted on

Update -
Maintenance is in progress on the first-copy holding tape library, however some tapes in the second copy online tape library are presenting with issues. Usually this would trigger a retrieval from the first copy for these files however as the first copy library is offline until next week, this will cause a delay for a number of stages.

Three cheers to the superstars who toil behind the scenes.
Please note for Setonix. * The 2025.03 software stack on Setonix has been removed. * The gpu-dev partition has been reduced from 10 to 8 nodes. * The gpu-highmem partition maximum walltime has been increased to 2 days. * The "linaro-forge" module is now available, providing the map profiler and ddt debugger, and set to replace the "arm-forge" module in July.
