How to get resources

How to be entitled to use CINECA HPC resources

In order to get a "personal" username for the HPC systems in CINECA, you have to register to our UserDB portal (userdb.hpc.cineca.it).

Moreover, you need to be associated to a valid project, as a "Collaborator" or as a "Principal Investigator" (PI).

Collaborator: ask the PI of the project to be associated to it (he/she can do it in the UserDB portal).
Principal Investigator: you have to apply for a project or get HPC resources in some other ways

At present, these are the ways you can get projects on our HPC systems:

ISCRA Projects: computing time allocation on the basis of a research project. You can get more information by accessing the dedicated web page;
EuroHPC Projects: computing time allocation at European level on the basis of a research project. You can get more information by accessing the dedicated web site;
Agreements: several Italian Research Institutions have special agreements for computing provision. Ask to superc@cineca.it for more information;
General users and Industrial applications: send a request to calcolotecnico@cineca.it to obtain an "on-demand" computing provision.
