The HPC team plans to perform maintenance and upgrades on the HPC AI Computing Platform from 00:00 on December 26, 2025, to 14:00 on January 1, 2026. The specific arrangements are as follows:

• HPC Phase II Platform: An offline upgrade will be conducted (from 00:00 on December 26, 2025, to 14:00 on January 1, 2026). During this period, the platform will be suspended. Users will be unable to log in or submit new jobs, running jobs will be interrupted, and stored data will be temporarily inaccessible.
• HPC Phase III Platform: An online rolling upgrade will be performed (from 09:00 on December 31, 2025, to 17:30 on December 31, 2025). During the upgrade, normal user tasks and platform operations will not be affected, but temporary instability in data access may occur.
• EDA HPC Platform: An offline upgrade will be carried out (from 00:00 on December 26, 2025, to 23:59 on December 31, 2025,). During this period, the platform will be suspended. Users will be unable to log in or submit new jobs, running jobs will be interrupted, and stored data will be temporarily inaccessible.

This upgrade involves the storage systems of the Phase II, Phase III, and EDA platforms. Under normal circumstances, user-persisted data will not be affected. However, it is still recommended that you back up important data in advance as a precaution.

To minimize disruption to your work, please plan and schedule your job runs accordingly in advance. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
