Our goal is to provide development and support for high
performance and distributed computing efforts within the Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Sciences.
To this end, we maintain general purpose computing
cluster environments open to researchers in the surrounding University of California at Berkeley
community.
To the world-wide community, we provide open-source tools to aid in
the development and administration of clustered and grid-based
systems.
News
Fri May 9 10:40:11 PDT 2008: PPCS is finally installing the new blower. We hope to have the CITRIS cluster operational on Monday.
Mon May 5 18:36:23 PDT 2008: The CITRIS cluster remains offline. The bearings failed out and it destroyed one of the main blowers. PPCS is waiting for replacement parts.
Wed Apr 30 02:53:13 PDT 2008: Temperatures continued to rise so we were forced to shut off the CITRIS cluster, terminating running jobs.
Wed Apr 30 00:10:14 PDT 2008: Many CITRIS and PSI nodes are offline due to a catastrophic Air Conditioner failure. Staff are on site and monitoring the temperature. More nodes may need to be turned off, disrupting additional jobs. ETA for AC repair unknown.
Fri Apr 11 2008: The NF, NLP, and i3 clusters, as well as the UCB PlanetLab
nodes will offline for electrical work 6-7:30AM Monday, April 14,
2008.
Wed Feb 13 2008: The RAD Lab and OceanStore clusters will be
offline for Emergency Power work at 11AM tomorrow, Thu Feb 14.
Tue Feb 6 2008: The PSI /work fileserver is experiencing problems.
Sun Jan 27 12:00 2008: The network problems were the result of
power
failures in the Soda MDF.
Sun Jan 27 09:00 2008: There are network connectivity problems to Soda Hall which are affecting both Millennium and EECS.
Wed Dec 12 2007: The OceanStore Cluster will be shut down over the
holiday break and likely retired.
Tue Dec 11 2007: Starting January 1, 2008,
access to the PSI Batch Cluster will be
restricted to EECS department researchers with active EECS research accounts.
