Dear MedBioNode users,
I have great news for you. IT department managed to issue new certificates for the two critical services much faster than expected:
1. jupyter.medunigraz.at
2. rstudio.medunigraz.at
which are running on the new login node sx163. You can access them with any browser over https secure connection. Many thanks to the responsible person at the IT department. The new server has much better and faster hardware: 256 logical cores and 1.5TB working memory. Herewith you can also ignore my previous E-Mail.
Best regards,
Slave

Dear MedBioNode users,
I have good news. We're providing additional login node, RStudio Server and JupyterHub over the following links:
1. Second login node ssh sx163.medunigraz.at
2. RStudio server http://sx163.medunigraz.at:8787
3. JupyterHub https://sx163.medunigraz.at
For RStudio server and JupyterHub you'll need to use Firefox and make exception for this address until IT department provides certificates for them.
Since both services will run in your one and same user profile you must avoid opening sessions at the same time on current servers (jupyterhub.medunigraz.at and rstudio.medunigraz.at) and the new ones.
If you have doubts, need support or just ask questions don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Slave

SLURM Workshop: Practical Use Cases for Data Analysis on MedBioNode
Join us for an engaging SLURM Workshop at the university, where experts will showcase how they leverage SLURM for data analysis on the MedBioNode cluster. This session, taking place from 13:00 to 16:00, will feature a series of presentations by researchers and professionals who use SLURM in their daily work.
Through real-world use cases, you'll gain insights into efficient job scheduling, resource management, and performance optimization for computational workloads. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced user, this workshop will provide valuable knowledge and best practices to enhance your workflow on MedBioNode.
For those who wish to practice or participate in hands-on exercises, please bring your own laptop with an operational University WiFi connection.
📍 Location: MedCampus
📅 Date: 09.04.2025
⏰ Time: 13:00 – 16:00
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from experienced users and improve your SLURM skills!
Best regards,
Slave

Dear MedBioNode users,
I can report that the issue is not present anymore. Unfortunately we could detect the process causing this extreme GPFS IO operation, since this activity has stopped.
Herewith I'd like just to emphasize the importance of avoiding high data writing on GPFS, since it affects all users in doing there normal work. GPFS is the home directory location for all MedBioNode users.
In case you have such situations there are different solutions to accomplish this. Please contact me if you need some assistance.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Regards,
Slave

Dear MedBioNode users,
we have currently issue that some user process puts heavy writing load in home directory (/home/gpfs) causing that it is impossible to work.
Thanks for your understanding.
