Chapter 6: Support
The KAUST Supercomputing Laboratory (KSL) currently runs a website (www.hpc.kaust.edu.sa) gathering all information about Ibex Cluster.
Maintenance
Disruptive maintenance will be avoided, whenever possible. We aim to use a slot no more frequently than twice a month and will, when possible, give at least 7 days notice of the systems being taken out of service.
News
News about upcoming maintenance and other system events will be published in the "message of the day" displayed at login and on the general channel on Slack.
All current and potential laboratory users are encouraged to contact us at ibex@hpc.kaust.edu.sa . All questions, comments, or requests are addressed from there. Our staff is traditionally quite responsive over email: be assured that your inquiry will be directed to the appropriate member of the laboratory staff. We can also be reached here and on Slack.
