Hello all,
We are pleased to announce we have opened up the login nodes for the new Stampede3 system, to allow you to begin the migration process.
At this time functionality is still limited; the new storage system and updated software stack are now available, but the only compute nodes available for running jobs are a few of the old Stampede2 “SKX” and “ICX” nodes (the login nodes do have the new Sapphire Rapids chip).
Purdue Research Computing personnel will observe the university winter break beginning on December 22nd, 2023, and will resume normal business hours on January 2nd. During this time, Research Computing services will continue to be available, but all staff will be on leave.
Critical system outages will be dealt with should they occur during this time. Other support needs will be handled when the University re-opens on January 3rd.
Have a wonderful break, everyone, and we look forward to great things in the new year!
Over the next few months, Stampede2 will transition to Stampede3. In order to ensure this transition is as smooth as possible, please carefully read this announcement.

While the new ACCESS presence is being developed, researchers, instructors and others who are interested are welcome to provide feedback on the basic information provided here and consider how they might participate.
Update 1
The following sentence in our recent announcement needs clarification:
- "XSEDE support for Globus and Grid Community Toolkit client software, including the myproxy, gsi-openssh, and globus-url-copy commands, will end. "
XSEDE will no longer support the Globus Toolkit client software, and the Grid Community Toolkit client software, which provide the legacy commands myproxy-init, myproxy-logon, gsi-openssh, and globus-url-copy.
