Note
Please note that Shabyt was recently set up and is now open for general access. Software configurations are continually being updated. The policies described here are subject to change based on decisions made by the NU HPC Committee and actual system utilization.
Acceptable Use
The HPC system is a unique resource for NU researchers and the community. It has special characteristics, such as a large amount of RAM and the capability for massive parallelism. Due to its uniqueness and expense, its use is supervised by the HPC team to ensure fair and efficient utilization.
Users are responsible for complying with the general policies. Additionally, users must adhere to the following rules:
