The change of the replacement schedule of the supercomputer system

We have been making preparation for new supercomputer systems to start in October, however, because of the accident that occurred at the vendor, Clay Inc. factory, the start of the new system B (Laurel 2) and C(Cinnamon 2) will be delayed later than was planned at first. New system A (Camphor 2) will start in October as scheduled, however, the start of the system B and C is expected around the beginning of January.

Along with this, we are planning to extend the operation of the current system B/C/D until the end of December (the service of all current systems are suspended from August 15 at 17:00 to October 3 at 9:00), and to provide the system B/C/D users the same amount of computing resources as that of the first half of this fiscal year. We are considering that the submission of the additional application is not required for the extension of the current system as well as the handling of the usage fees for the period from October to December. Also, for users who do not plan to use new system A in the current system A users, we are considering to offer the current system B/C/D. Usage fees of the new system B/C which were already applied are charged from January to March. We will inform you again when we decide the details.

We apologize for the inconvenience, thank you for your understanding.

(P.S. September 2, 2016)
We will take measures for the delay of the new system B/C as follows. If you have any questions or consultation, please contact us via e-mail.

  • For current system B/C/D users in the first half of this fiscal year who applied for the new system B/C after October, we will offer the same computing resources as that of the first half of this fiscal year until the end of December without additional fees. Please contact us if you have not applied for the latter half of this fiscal year yet.
  • For current system A users in the first half of this fiscal year who applied for the new system B/C after October, we will offer computing resources which meet your requirements as much as we can until December. We need to adjust the amount of resources specifically, please contact us if you request. Email: consult*kudpc.kyoto-u.ac.jp (Please replace * with @)
  • Usage fees of the new systems B/C are charged from January to March 2017 for three months. We will inform you the usage fees for the application which was already applied when we send the approval letter via email.
  • Billing month of the usage fees for the new system B/C is scheduled in January 2017 in principle. However if you pay by the grants of Kyoto University, "Uneihi koufukin" (運営費交付金), the billing month is in October due to the budget transfer. Billing month of the usage fees for the new system A and the application of the first half of the fiscal year is also in October as scheduled. If you need to change the billing month or payment item for any reason, please contact us until September 14, 2016.
