DeepSense Documentation

Note

On June 26 we updated the GPU compute nodes to a new version of IBM Watson Machine Learning Accelerator. This changes the way you access deep learning packages like Tensorflow and Pytorch. Instead of "activating" these packages, you will be able to install new versions directly in your anaconda environment.

We are actively updating the wiki documentation to explain the new method of accessing deep learning packages (see Getting started with Deep Learning). Please bear with us during these updates as some documentation may still refer to the old method of "activating" deep learning packages.

Cluster status

Status	Planned Outage	Notes
Offline		Note: This took longer than anticipated; we hope to have this completed by Thursday, Sep 10 around noon. We will be upgrading our storage between 8:00am, Sep 8 to 4:30pm, Sep 9, 2020. The whole cluster will be closed to all users. You won't be able to run/submit jobs during the maintenance. Please estimate how long your jobs will be using before submitting jobs. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Legend:
Online: cluster is running normally
Online: cluster has some problems and is partially available
Offline: cluster is offine and users are not able to log in
