Scheduled Update for November 2024
With the introduction of the next ABCI system, ABCI 2.0 operations will be terminated on October 31, 2024. In preparation for this, several services will be phased out.
During November, the following services will remain available:
- Users can continue to log in to the ABCI 2.0 interactive nodes.
- Storage associated with ABCI 2.0 including the group area(
/groups), Fast data area(/bb), and ABCI Cloud Storage will remain accessible from the ABCI 2.0 interactive nodes. However, storage services will be phased out gradually. For specific end dates, please refer to "Notification of upcoming storage services".
The following services will be discontinued:
- ABCI 2.0 Compute Nodes (V and A)
- ABCI 2.0 Local Storage and Global scratch area(
/scratch)
Data Migration from ABCI 2.0 to ABCI 3.0
- The system administrators will handle the migration of data from the ABCI 2.0 home area(
/home).- During the data migration from the ABCI 2.0 home area, logging in to the ABCI 2.0 interactive nodes will not be possible. Details regarding the migration schedule will be provided at a later date.
- The ABCI 3.0 group area will be mounted on the ABCI 2.0 interactive nodes at the
/groups-newmount point.- Users are requested to transfer any necessary data from ABCI 2.0 storage(such as
/groupsand/bb) to the ABCI 3.0 group area (/groups-new) via the interactive nodes.
- Users are requested to transfer any necessary data from ABCI 2.0 storage(such as
Restrictions on the ABCI User Portal Starting in November

Start process monitoring on the interactive nodes
Process monitoring started on the interactive nodes.
High load or lengthy tasks on the interactive nodes will be killed by the
process monitoring system, so use the compute nodes with the qrsh/qsub
command.
Change the job submission and execution limits
We changed the job submission and execution limits as follows.
| Limitations | Current limits | Previous limits |
|---|---|---|
| The maximum number of tasks within an array job | 75000 | 1000 |
| The maximum number of any user's running jobs at the same time | 200 | 0(unlimited) |
About known issues
The status of following known issues were changed to close.
- A comupte node can execute only up to 2 jobs each resource type "rt_G.small" and "rt_C.small" (normally up to 4 jobs ).

[username@es1 ~]$ qstat -u '*' | head
