    Greetings Seaborg User,
    
    In support of the INCITE program, Seaborg will be running a large (350 nodes)
    job starting at 18:00 PST today (Tue Dec 12).  This is just over 8 hours from
    now.  The system is currently draining in anticipation of this job; there are
    now slightly more than 120 nodes idle.  Any job submitted now that requests less
    than 8 hours (i.e., that is guaranteed to complete before 18:00) should start
    immediately.  This would be a good opportunity to get quick turnaround on
    medium-sized jobs.
    
    To see how many nodes are currently available, use this command:
    
    % how_many_free_nodes
    
    If you have any questions about this, please contact NERSC Consulting at:
