The new SGI Origin 3800, chinook
|
On 15 July 2002 at 0800 Mountain Daylight Time, the SGI Origin 2000 (ute) will be decommissioned. It will be replaced with a new SGI Origin 3800 system. The new machine, named chinook, will be binary compatible with ute, have the same number of processors as ute, but with twice the clock speed, four times the memory and more than double the disk capacity.
Chinook will be available for users on 22 July 2002. Utefe will also be unavailable during this timeframe for relocation and a software upgrade, and will be renamed chinookfe. Current users of ute and utefe will be automatically moved to chinook and chinookfe.
User home directories will be retained as part of this upgrade, but you are advised that /ptmp will be rebuilt and all files will be lost. You are encouraged to save your /ptmp files to the Mass Storage System before 15 July 2002.
