Rules for access to computing resources

General provisions

1. Computing resources of the Scientific and Educational Center “Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Technologies” of South Ural State University (SEC AIQT SUSU) are designed to support scientific research and the educational process carried out at SUSU and requiring the involvement of supercomputer systems with teraflop performance levels.
2. The use of the computing resources of the SEC AIQT SUSU is carried out only in remote mode (via Internet).
3. To gain access to resources of the SEC AIQT SUSU employees, graduate students or SUSU students need to fill out two forms: “Service memo for registration” [sample, docx format], “Questionnaire for registration» per account;” [sample, docx format]. The signed forms must be handed over to the director of the SEC AIQT Dolganina Natalya Yuryevna in the aud. 108, bldg. 3G SUSU, phone: (351) 267-90-06 ext . 108
4. Users from other organizations to gain access to SEC AIQT SUSU resources need to send an official letter [sample, docx-format] from the management of the organization to the name of the rector and fill out the form "Sign up  per account [sample, docx format]. The scanned version of the official letter, along with the completed application form, must be sent to supercomputer@susu.ru. Send the original official letter by mail to the address: 454080, Russia, Chelyabinsk, pr. im. IN AND. Lenina, 87, room. 108/3G Supercomputer Simulation Laboratory, director of SEC AIQT Dolganina Natalya Yurievna.
5. Scheduled maintenance works are carried out on the last Wednesday of each month from 8:00 to 21:00. In and this at the specified time, task queues may be suspended, and active tasks are removed, and computing resources SUSU may be unavailable to users. When the maintenance work is completed, the task queues will be unlocked, and the tasks in queues will be started for execution.
6. When publishing scientific papers made using supercomputing resources of SUSU, a reference is required in the text: "Research was performed using supercomputer resources of SUSU [1]." or “The reported study was performed using supercomputer resources of the South Ural State University [2].»
