Update of migration timeline
Announcement of migration timeline
Migration plan
The new Atos will not only replace the current HPC service provided by the Cray XC40 systems, but also all Linux servers, e.g. ecgate. The onboarding to the new system will happen in stages. Before starting any migration work users are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the Atos HPCF and ECGATE services. Even though not all relevant data centre services are yet in place, e.g. ecaccess/ectrans is currently missing, the system is open to users to start testing and migrating their applications on the Atos. Current Cray users have access to the Atos since February and users from Member and Cooperating States with access to the ecgate service will be invited by the end of June to migrate and test their applications on the Atos.
HPC users will be charged System Billing Units for their usage with the start of the Atos contract, see HPC accounting, while the non-HPC service will remain free.
Indicative timeline
The start of the Atos contract is currently expected for 1 November 2022. The service provided by the Cray HPC and the ecgate system will end on 31 October 2022. During the reliability test the Atos is expected to provide an operational level of service in parallel to the Cray.
