Hi Unity Users,

Happy first week of the Fall Semester! This week’s digest highlights exciting workshops, events, and plenty of ways to get involved with Unity this semester.

✨ NEW on Unity OnDemand: Cluster Status Section

We’ve added a new feature on the Unity OnDemand homepage where you can now see real-time cluster status updates, including:

  • Nodes available and % used
  • Processors available and % used
  • GPUs available and % used
  • Jobs running
  • Jobs queued

This is a great way to stay informed about cluster activity – we encourage you to check it out!
