EAST-1 will be offline on October 4-5 due to energy system maintenance


The Ångström laboratory houses the UPPMAX compute hall, and the property manager, Akademiska Hus, will be performing work on the cooling system during 2023 as part of an energy-saving project called “Project Bläckfisken.” Project Bläckfisken is a modernization project in which Akademiska Hus is constructing an energy system that allows for the transfer of heat and cooling between different building structures, catering to specific needs. As part of this energy system, the UPPMAX compute hall will contribute heat during the winter months. To facilitate this process, Akademiska Hus kindly requests a 48-hour power-down period for the compute hall between October 4 and 5. During this time, all systems, including the Swedish Science Cloud (SSC) East-1 region, will be temporarily unavailable.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we aim to inform you well in advance.
