[Clusterusers] Another power blip at 4:20PM

[Lee Spector]

Yeah, I'm inclined to say that reliable power would be more valuable to us now than a few more cores.

But really, something strange is going on, and it ought to be found and fixed. If that happens relatively soon then maybe this issue will go away.

We have it in the cluster budget and it seems like maybe it's the best use of those funds? Any thoughts? I'm getting a bit tired of this....

They were on campus today, and I was asked for a full list of when and where these were occurring, which I provided, and they are looking into it. They're unaware of any issues - so as of now, it still seems that nobody knows why this is happening.
