After technical problems occurred concerning the cooling of the cluster, the first testing phase had to be suspended from early December on until now. During the last two months intensive re-thinking and work has been invested into making the cooling more reliable and therefore protect the cluster hardware and running jobs in case of incidents. We are happy to announce that these safety mechanisms have been successfully tested earlier this week, so that we will be able to re-launch the testing phase on Tuesday, February 13th.
This also means that we are back on track towards the final release date for Marvin. The cluster will be accessible by all scientists of the University of Bonn (and their cooperation partners) after registration on our web page starting
March 11, 2024.
After that date, you will be able to apply for access on our website
where a web form will become available, a process similar to the one already in use for access to the smaller clusters "Bonna" and "Bender".
Further information on the cluster itself, the registration process, and upcoming introductory workshops can be found on https://www.hpc.uni-bonn.de.
