Event listing powered by The Events Calendar Shortcode\n https:\/\/eventcalendarnewsletter.com\/the-events-calendar-shortcode\/ \n--><br \/>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since CentOS 7, the Linux Operating System of CLAIX, is outdated, and since\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.centos.org\/centos-linux-eol\/\">CentOS Linux 8 reached End Of Life<\/a>\u00a0(EOL), we have to shift to a new Linux distribution.\u00a0 We have selected\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rockylinux.org\/\">Rocky Linux 8.7<\/a>, which is also Red Hat Enterprise compatible.<\/p>\n<p>Going hand in hand with this change, we also prepared the shift to a new software environment based on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/easybuild.io\/\">EasyBuild<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lmod.readthedocs.io\/\">Lmod<\/a>. These tools are also widely used at other HPC centers. We expect them to improve the user experience and the maintainability from the administrator\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n<p>However, for you as a user, both changes require that you<\/p>\n<p>(1.) learn how to use the new module system (e.g., names of the modules changed, toolchains, etc.) and<\/p>\n<p>(2.) recompile your software and<\/p>\n<p>(3.) revise and possibly modify your batch scripts accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding that you need time to prepare for these changes, we will offer support for the old (CentOS 7) and the new (Rocky Linux 8) environment in parallel for a transition period of approx. 7 weeks, ending on April 30th, 2023. During this period, more and more compute nodes will be migrated to the new environment. Consequently, the waiting times for jobs scheduled to run in the old environment might increase over time.<\/p>\n<p>In this online course we presented an overview on the changes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aktuelle Events: Vergangene Events: Since CentOS 7, the Linux Operating System of CLAIX, is outdated, and since\u00a0CentOS Linux 8 reached End Of Life\u00a0(EOL), we have to shift to a new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2589,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"c2c_always_allow_admin_comments":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6752","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","cat_hpcevents","cat_rocky-hpc-migration-course"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2589"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6752"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6755,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6752\/revisions\/6755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/itc-events\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
