In agreement with the PI of node802, we are making parts of the resources of this node available to all users now. This will be facilitated through a specific partition called "amd-short" that can run jobs up to 4h using up to 64 cores and up to 1TB of memory. Node802 is somewhat different than all other nodes on ALICE which is you should go through the section "[https://wiki.alice.universiteitleiden.nl/index.php?title=Running_jobs_on_ALICE#Important_information_about_partition_amd-short Important information about amd-short]" before you start using the new partition. | ||

In this phase, we give a limited number of users access to the new storage system to try it out and provide feedback to us. This way, we can test and evaluate the performance of the new storage system under more realistic conditions with various kinds of workloads. Our goal is to conclude the Early Access phase at the end of January. We have still spots left for participating in the Early Access phase.
