sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

    Hi folks,
    
    computing throughput will suffer a bit for us for the next month.
    PHENIX/sPHENIX lost 6000 condor slots (out of 18000) due to this
    (STAR had to throw in its production resources). It may sound worse
    than it is - thanks to the opportunistic resource usage in the
    shared pool and the availability of the STAR production farm we are
    running right now more jobs than before. But this will likely change
    once this effort uses its 29k allocated condor slots.

Please plan for things taking longer for the next 4-8 weeks

Chris


-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Rhic-rcf-l] Farm batch slots reallocation Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 17:39:29 -0400 From: RACF Computing Facility Staff <announce AT rcf.rhic.bnl.gov> To: rhic-rcf-l AT lists.bnl.gov, bnl-shared-tier3-l AT lists.bnl.gov

Summary: Farm batch slots repartitioning
Duration: Effective immediately for one month

Description:
We would like to inform you that upon request from NPP, a queue/slot re-partitioning will take effect shortly on the batch farm providing a temporary major resource increase to the STAR experiment. This followed a DOE request that STAR must complete its blinded analyses of the 2018 Isobar data by the end of the current fiscal year (this target was made as part of a notable Performance Evaluation and Measurement Plan from DOE ONP). In order to meet the deadline, the reallocation (a proportional reduction of slots from several groups by -40%) needs to remain in effect for the coming month and this may cause some impact to the throughput of other jobs, including those of STAR non-Isobar related analysis and data production as well as those from ATLAS T3, EIC, PHENIX and sPHENIX.
If during this period, you need additional resources, please contact us, we will try to find ways to accommodate your request.

We apologize in advance for the inconvenience and the short notice
