[Sciserver-users] Issues reaching Sciserver-compute

[Jonas Haase]

Sciserver-comp5 has been rebooted and things seem to be working again. I hope this has not caused any loss of data to anyone.

I want to reiterate that it is not a good idea to run very resource-intensive processing in interactive sessions as that is likely to disturb the other users.
For heavier, longrunning processing use Compute Jobs instead - the resources available are the same as for the large interactive nodes, but you have at most 10 other processes to compete with at the same time.

cheers
