Coming soon! | ||
This page contains preliminary information which might be subject to change!
Estimated Start of User Operation
The CoolMUC-4 is currently being installed and tested. CoolMUC-4 replaces its predecessors CoolMUC-2 and CoolMUC-3. We expect start of user operation beginning of December 2024.

Access
Access CoolMUC-4 login nodes via
ssh myuserid@lxlogin5.lrz.de
Default File Systems
On login nodes and compute nodes, users have access to:
- DSS HOME ($HOME): Users of CoolMUC-2/-3 will keep their Home directory. No need to transfer data to the new system.
- Temporary file system ($SCRATCH_DSS): This is the same temporary file system as currently used on CoolMUC-2/-3.
Queues and Job Processing
Documentation pages on job processing will be updated soon.
As already known from the previous CoolMUC clusters, Slurm partitions for different purposes will be set up:
- multi-node partition, e.g. for MPI-parallel jobs,
- single-node partition for shared-memory jobs,
- shared partition aka "serial" on CoolMUC-2,
- partition for interactive jobs.
Details coming soon.
