*** ALCF Website Relaunch Next Week Brings Improvements ***
On Monday, November 14, the ALCF will roll out its much-anticipated, new and improved website. The site will include a variety of new user-focused features, including a live machine status, organized user manuals, user announcements, a better search function, and more. As part of the revamp initiative, content from the ALCF wiki will be moved to the new website. While bookmarks to specific content on the old site or wiki will no longer work, enhanced search capabilities and a cleaner architecture on the new site will make information easier to locate when you need it. If you have questions, please contact support at alcf.anl.gov.
