Poor Response Times on Helix and Biowulf (Helix)

Helix & Biowulf Users --

During the past two weeks, both Helix and the Biowulf
Login node have experienced numerous load spikes during
the day which have resulted in poor response times or
outright hangs for even simple commands.

The Helix/Biowulf staff is actively engaged in trying
to determine the cause and develop a solution to this
problem.

Thanks for your patience during this process, and we
apologize for any disruption to your work.

The Helix/Biowulf staff
