The bwUniCluster system will be unavailable between October 17, 2016 and October 21, 2016 for scheduled maintenance.

We strongly recommend to recompile all your binaries after the maintenance due to operational system as well as software and libraries upgrade. This does also apply to binaries that may have been built as add-ons for existing software modules, e.g. private packages for R and Octave, Matlab MEX files, etc.

The batch system queues will be closed starting a couple of days before the maintenance window and will then be cleared. Data on the parallel file systems will remain intact.
