Downtime of the HPC Systems @ KIT

We would like to inform our users on bwUniCluster 3.0:

Extensive renovation work is currently taking place in the computer building at KIT to prepare the power distribution for future high-performance computing systems.

We would like to inform our users on bwUniCluster 3.0:

The next planned downtime is scheduled for calendar week 7/8 in 2026:

  • Start date: Monday, February 9, 2026, 6 A.M.
  • Estimated duration:  Wednesday, February 18, 2026

Depending on the progress of the renovation work (CW 7) and the maintenance work (CW 8) we carry out directly afterwards, recommissioning may also take place earlier in calendar week 8.

During this downtime, all HPC systems located at KIT (HoreKa, HAICORE@KIT, FTP, and bwUniCluster 3.0) will be unavailable. Please take this into account when planning your jobs and data transfers.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have any questions, please contact the respective support portal as usual
