prepIFS

The prepIFS environment for running IFS experiments on Atos is still under development, and is not yet ready for general use. A further announcement will be forthcoming where users will be invited to start running prepIFS experiments on Atos and migrate their workflow.

ECACCESS and Time-Critical Option 1 (and 2) features

...

Time-Critical Option 2 users enjoy a special setup with additional redundancy in terms of filesystems to minimise the impacts of failures or planned maintenances. However, this has not been finalised yet so we would recommend not to start using these accounts until the configuration is complete.

ECFlow service

While the availability of virtual infrastructure to run ecFlow servers remains limited, you may start your ecFlow servers in the interim HPCF dedicated node to be able to run your suites. 

At a later stage, those ecFlow servers will need to be moved to dedicated Virtual Machines outside the HPCF, where practically no local tasks will be able to run. All ecFlow tasks will need to be submitted to one of the HPCF complexes through the corresponding Batch system.

Please do keep that in mind when migrating or designing your solution.

See HPC2020: Using ecFlow for all the details.
