Rackham End of Life 2024-12-31

After many years of service, the time is approaching when Rackham will be too old to keep running. Rackham will be shut down on 2024-12-31. Before we say anything else, we want to express a deep appreciation for each of our users — it is you that made this system so meaningful and pushed us to the limit in so many ways.

This is why we have made plans for your future, and why the UPPMAX staff are contacting you now. Please continue reading to learn about what will happen to your compute and storage projects and how we plan to help you transition to a new system.

The NAISS system that we believe is the best choice for most of our users is Dardel, at PDC (KTH) in Stockholm. UPPMAX and PDC have, with blessing from NAISS, started a collaboration to ensure that Dardel will host a suitable environment for your work, and that the move is as smooth as possible.
