5-Day Maintenance for Omega 9/12 - 9/17
A 5-day maintenance window is scheduled for the Omega Cluster, which includes both the Geology and Geophysics (GEO) and High Energy Physics (HEP) clusters. Maintenance will begin starting at 8 am on Monday, September 12. During this maintenance period, Omega storage and the data transfer node will be unavailable.
We are expecting all systems to be available for use again by the morning of Saturday, September 17. Please visit this page for the latest updates.
Understanding the Spatial and Network Diffusion of Crime Across Urban Neighborhoods
Our research team investigates disparities in neighborhood violence in Chicago. In this line of research, we examine how the concentration of violence within urban areas is maintained and magnified by the diffusion of violence from one place to the next, with particular attention to city-level criminal networks in Chicago. These studies provide two main contributions to the literature on urban crime: first, we describe the way that social connections between individual criminal offenders form a city-wide network that spans neighborhoods throughout the city.
Louise compute nodes being rebooted
This morning, many of the Louise compute nodes became unresponsive and needed to be rebooted. We are in the process of bringing them back online. Jobs on those nodes were lost. You may experience delays in getting allocations until all of the nodes are back on-line.
