User feedback and policy updates
How to work on SubMIT? Given that SubMIT is a community installation and users can affect each others work we have sat down to formulate a few pointers for users, what to pay attention to etc. ‘Using SubMIT’ gives you a short summary of what we expect from users, so we can all work together…

Highlights from the Users Meeting
The subMIT team recently held its monthly users meeting in February and March with very interesting updates from both postdoctoral fellows and the project team. Solving Einstein’s equations on subMIT Josu Aurrekoetxea, a postdoctoral research fellow specialized in cosmological simulations, talked in February about numerical relativity. Coding Einstein’s equations requires adaptive mesh refinement due to…

OpenMPI now on SubMIT
With the ever increasing number of diverse research projects on SubMIT users request new features and new software they would like to use in their projects. The team cannot always install all software and enable all new features because sometimes it is more complicated then just ‘dnf’ing’ a new package but if the number of…

Passed the 900 user mark
Today the subMIT system has passed the 900 registered user mark. The number of registered users follows a peculiar pattern. When subMIT supports large classes there is a major jump of students registering during the beginning of the semester, while otherwise the number of registered users creeps up at a shallow but rather constant slope.…

SubMIT Team Revamps Storage: From Gluster to Ceph
The SubMIT project team has recently undertaken a significant project by migrating from a Gluster-based to a Ceph-based file system. This move marks a critical step in ensuring that the SubMIt system can handle the increasing demands of research and data processing in the coming years. Previously, the system had data from over 800 SubMIT…

Finally – subMIT moved
After getting 100 Gbit fiber and consolidating subMIT’s hardware last year into building 24 for optimal access by the project team and giving it more reliable power supply, we were planning to move the facility one last time to the big and even better supported computing room in Building 24, just about 20 meter from…
