A new version with some bugfixes and new features for our batch system, slurm, has been released.

The new version has improvments in how the jobs are scheduled that will enhance utilization of the cluster and we will also change some other configurations for better throughput of jobs.

The upgrade is a major version and will require all jobs to be stopped during the upgrade.

The upgrade should be complete within an hour including testing of the new version on abisko.

Update:
System upgrade finished at 10:20.

VASP upgraded on Abisko

VASP has now been upgraded to version 5.3.3 on Abisko.

It contains new features like k-point parallization and the x/y/z-restrict patch from NSC.
It will be a fair bit faster for certain types of problems.

The names of the binaries have changed (the old names still remain but will be dropped with the next release).

Please read our updated VASP documentation.
