BinAC2

The bwForCluster BinAC 2 supports researchers from the broader fields of Bioinformatics, Astrophysics, Geosciences, Pharmacy, and Medical Informatics.

Status: Upcoming maintenance: 17 September 2026, 08:00 - 18 September 2026, 17:00

The University of Tübingen will conduct a campus-wide emergency power test. To prevent any risk of damage, the entire BinAC 2 cluster will be shut down during this test.

During this period:

• We will use this downtime to update BinAC 2 nodes.
• No jobs that would run into the maintenance window will be started.
• Jobs finishing before the downtime begins can still be executed.
