Scheduled maintenance is planned for Tuesday 21st AND 28th April 2020, some of which will result in disruption to JASMIN systems, services and data in addition to the CEDA Archive. ...

A group of RAL Space graduates, including a member of the CEDA team, have created a new, free challenge for Girlguiding and Scout groups that is designed to introduce different science and engineering careers to young people, through hands-on activities. ...

Dear JASMIN users, We are aware that users are experiencing difficulties with performance and access to some resources on JASMIN at present. This is due to a problem with one of the storage servers. This will affect the performance of Group Workspaces under the path /gws/nopw/j04 - we believe that small files (<64KB) and symbolic links are more likely to be affected. ...

We are pleased to announce that the two new scientific analysis servers, “ sci1.jasmin.ac.uk ” and “ sci2.jasmin.ac.uk ” are now available with the CentOS7 systems and the new software environments1. These two VMs are available for testing and they are listed in the table of available “sci” servers shown when you log in to any of the login servers. [Please note that the domain name of the new “sci” servers has changed from “ .ceda.ac.uk” to “ .jasmin.ac.uk ”]. ...

As we are sure you are already aware, the latest government restrictions on travel mean that any issues requiring physical intervention to the JASMIN infrastructure (e.g. a visit to the machine room by a member of the technical team) could now take up to a day or more to resolve. Strict procedures are in place to keep our key members of staff safe whilst they visit the RAL site - but these procedures take time to organise, hence the anticipated delays. ...

We are pleased to announce the release of a new JASMIN service providing access to Jupyter notebooks. What is the JASMIN Notebook service? The JASMIN Notebook service provides access to Jupyter Notebooks in the web browser. A Jupyter Notebook is an interactive document containing live code and visualisations that can be viewed and modified in a web browser. These documents can be shared, often using GitHub, and many projects distribute example code as Jupyter notebooks. Users interact with their notebooks using the open-source Jupyter Notebook server application. ...

There is a very small risk of these services being affected by work being carried out in the machine room between these times. ...

In order to clear a number of issues on the transfer server jasmin-xfer3.ceda.ac.uk , it will be rebooted at 10:30 today. ...
