Due to emergency maintenance work on the cooling infrastructure of Helma-GPU, the cluster will be down from

Aug. 24–28 (Monday to Friday)

We expect normal operation to resume by the evening of Friday 28. As usual, jobs that would collide with the downtime will automatically be postponed until the downtime is over. Most frontends and fileservers will be available through the downtime. However, short interruptions are possible here, too.

Update 2026-08-21: This has been cancelled because required materials will not be arriving on time. Instead, this urgent maintenance will now happen during a scheduled downtime a week later. An announcement of that will follow and then be linked here.
