RWTH High Performance Computing (HPC)

During the maintenance we will upgrade the Slurm scheduler to the newest version.
We will also work on resolving recent issues with sacct and Slurm Accounts not being available at Job submission.
Finally, we will setup a tuned and improved job priority configuration for the submission queues, with the goal to improve QoS based on user
feedback we have received.

To achieve this, all jobs still pending in the queue by the time the maintenance starts will be removed by us. These will have to be resubmitted by users. We ask users to please take measures to track and resubmit the jobs if there is a need for it.

The Upgrade of Slurm and required accounting fixes is taking longer than expected and will extend the Maintenance period by one extra day.
