There is a scheduled maintenance on UPS and UPS power lines in HPC server room on Saturday, 20th Feb. All HPC resources will be stopped at 8:30, we are expecting this maintenance to finish before 17:00 same day.

Hexagon, FImm, Grunch and other connected to them resources will be unavailable. Hexagon queuing system has reservation in place, so that jobs which are not able to finish before the maintenance will not be started.

Update:
2016-02-20 07:45 System maintenance has started.
2016-02-20 16:30 /work-common filesystem storage got damaged, recovery progress is ongoing.
2016-02-21 07:30 System maintenance has finished, HPC systems are functional again.

Scheduler system on Hexagon is not well working with mppdepth directive.

Due to increased usage of OpenMP on the machine we had to stop supporting mppdepth. 

The new way of running OpenMP is as simple as it was before with mppdepth.

Updated documentation on how to run an OpenMP job you can find here
