Marconi A1 partition reduced from December 11th

Dear users,

As part to a long-term project that will end with increasing the capabilities of MARCONI, by adding a new SkyLake partition that will be available for all our users, on Monday, December 11th a part of the Broadwell partition will be removed from the cluster.

Production on A1 will still be possible, however you may experience some increase on the waiting times for a job to enter in execution, due to the fact that less Broadwell nodes will be available starting from Monday.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and we will keep you updated about the following steps of the incoming MARCONI upgrade.

Regards,
HPC User Support - CINECA
