Electra will be placed into dedicated time beginning Wednesday, October 17 at 7:00 a.m., and continuing through the HECC enclave outage, which is scheduled to end Monday, October 29 at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time).

The Electra dedicated time is needed for systems testing and integration of new Skylake nodes. The system will be unavailable during this period.

When Electra comes back online, it will have significantly increased capacity, with the addition of 288 new Skylake nodes for general use.
