Changes

Since 2016, Compute Canada has been carrying out one of the largest advanced research computing renewals in Canada’s history. Funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and provincial partners is being used to replace aging systems with [https://www.computecanada.ca/renewing-canadas-advanced-research-computing-platform/new-systems-at-four-national-sites/ new national systems] that will consolidate resources. For more information on the national migration process and the latest update to the technology refresh program, please visit the [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/accessing-resources/migration/ Compute Canada website].

Due to the high demand nationally for computing resources under the 2018-19 Resource Allocation Competition (RAC), Compute Canada and the four regional partners requested asked the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to fund maintenance and operations for a number of systems across the country for an additional year. The intent was to bridge resources while the newest Compute Canada cluster, Niagara (a Large Parallel system with 60,000 cores), becomes fully operational.

Mahone and Fundy will be were decommissioned 31 March 2018, as planned, after which ACENET will no longer support them.

Thank you in advance for your patience during this migration period. We are working hard to limit the extent of disruptions and impact to your research during this transition. If you have questions or concerns about any aspect of this migration process, please [[Ask Support | contact ACENET support]].
