Shaheen II power uncapped

Shaheen II power will be uncapped this weekend (Thursday 5:00 PM until Sunday 8:00 AM). Around 4,000 nodes will be available. The remaining 2,000 nodes will be drained and not available. This is to allow performance tuning and code execution without power restrictions on compute nodes. This session is open to all Shaheen II users.
