 ### Announcements
 
+*  **November 22, 2019:** Samples for Caffe are no longer supported on JURECA due to system-wide
+MVAPICH2 module changes.
 *  **November 18, 2019:** The `horovod_data_distributed` directory has been added that contains code 
 samples to illustrate proper data-distributed training with Horovod, i.e., a distribution mechanism 
 where the training data is distributed instead of epochs. Further information is available in the
