Usage policy and obtaining a user id

This section describes the usage policy of Vuori and how to apply for a user id or CPU time.

Vuori is intended for both parallel and serial jobs. Scalability tests are not required on Vuori and Murska. Only if a customer wants to use more than 128 cores on Murska and 144 cores on Vuori  the tests are required.  These limtis are the usual upper limits of parallel jobs in Vuori and Murska.  See

Instructions for scalability tests on Vuori

The standard procedure to obtain a user id is described below.

If you are a new customer for CSC's computing and application software services, see first instructions for new customers below. The application procedure depends on whether your are an academic user or not.
