Scientific Computing Users,

JLab's data analysis cluster for experimental physics will be down for scheduled maintenance on Wednesday September 24, 2014 from 8am until noon. The PBS/Torque scheduling software will be upgraded from version 2.1.10 to 4.2.7; the upgrade will provide enhancements to the scheduler's fault tolerance, the scheduling interface, scalability, and usability.  Please plan for this morning outage next week.

Regards,
Sandy Philpott
