System Operation and Maintenance Measures on The University of Tokyo Activity Restrictions Index for Preventing the Spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019.
The University of Tokyo has launched "The University of Tokyo Activity Restrictions Index for Preventing the Spread of COVID-19" to continue to carry out research and educational activities while exercising measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection.
Please refer to the following page for the information of university response to the COVID-19.
Most of the faculties and staff of ITC/U.Tokyo are now teleworking or working in shifts. This is also applied to engineers of companies who are working for operating our supercomputer systems. Only short on-site work less than 4-hours is allowed for keeping services as JHPCN (Joint Usage/Research Center for Interdisciplinary Large-scale Information Infrastructure). Although all the faculties, staff members and engineers are working hard for continuing operations, reduction of services (e.g. some computing nodes failed) may occur. We are very sorry for any inconvenience, and would like to thank you for your understanding this critical situation.
[Updated: May 8, 2023]
The University of Tokyo lowered the Activity Restrictions Index to level S on May 8. Therefore, ICT/U.Tokyo will also be operating its activities at level S (no activity restrictions).
There is a possibility that the level might be raised again in the future and our activities might be restricted. Please make sure to backup your important files.
Again, although all the faculties, staff members and engineers are working hard for continuing operations, reduction of services (e.g. decreasing the number of some computing nodes) may occur. We are very sorry for any inconvenience, and would like to thank you for your understanding this critical situation.
Thank you very much for your patience.
