The management of running compute time project includes

• Project member management: provide or change membership
• Project con­tin­gent management: change the compute contingent, file sys­tem quota, HPC cluster

Request user account for existing project

Please note that in order to apply for an account or to be added to a project the project must be granted. That means if you actually, for example, want a test project you have to apply for a test project first (see test, small, normal/large projects and the overview page for details).

• Members of the Paderborn University have to use their IMT account. Please ask the principal investigator (PI) or project administrator (PA) of a granted project to add you to the project via the IMT service portal.
• Scientists without an IMT account have to apply for an account.
  • Please follow the steps:
    1. Find out the project acronym. This is a string like hpc-prf-lsdfa. If unsure please ask the principal investigator of the project.
    2. Fill out the online account request form at PC²-JARDS
    3. After submitting you will get a pdf by mail. Please sign the pdf and have the principal investigator of the project sign it (either by hand or digitally).
    4. Send the signed pdf to pc2-support@uni-paderborn.de.
    5. The account will be created within a few days and you will be notified by mail.

If you are considering a project contingent extension, the key factor is determining the exact amount of additional resources required. Whether your needs are above or below 25% of the initially requested resources, understanding this can guide your next steps and ensure a smooth transition.

For projects with access to multiple clusters, the contingent can be moved between the clusters.

It is also possible to extend the contingent/duration of a one-year project by up to 25% and/or 3 months.

Also, contact us in case of problems with the file system quota (number of files, data size).
