Dear SP User

NERSC and IBM are nearing the completion of acceptance testing for NERSC-3
Phase 2. Thanks to the help of early users, we identified a number of
issues that have been corrected, and are grateful for your help.

It appears that all the major issues have been resolved including
different run times, large job scheduling and other performance issues.
All other known issues documented and/or being investigated.  Since the 30
day availability test will end on Thursday July 26, this one final
reminder to report anything that appears unusual or a problem as soon as
possible, particularly if you think it relates to a system problem.  It
would be most useful to have this information by Wednesday evening.

Seaborg will be in full scale production starting at midnight July 31/Aug
1. Unfortunately that means all work will be charged as well.  Gseaborg
will be removed from service around August 2.

Once again - thank you for helping us in making this system very
effective.

Bill Kramer
