After that date, TeraGrid accounts will no longer be able to submit jobs, all TeraGrid allocations on Big Red will be invalid, and access to Big Red via the TeraGrid User Portal will be disabled. Access via SSH keys or GSI-SSH for TeraGrid users will remain enabled for another three months. All data stored in TeraGrid accounts on Big Red should be backed up prior to October 31, 2011.
