Cluster CLIMARES Utilization Rules

Who can use?

All researchers registered in USP Multi platform can use the computational resources of the cluster, but preference is given for those who are part of the CLIMARES research team.

For the definitions of quotas and usage preference, the users will be classified in two groups:

1. CLIMARES researchers

2. External users

The classification will occurr based on the most recent list of CLIMARES associated researchers on SAGe. Graduation students (masters, doctorate and post-doctorate) must be directly associated to CLIMARES researchers (through the advisor's Lattes CV) in order to be classificated in group 1.

How to use?

After the request is approved by the Management Committee, a registration form will be sent to the user. It is necessary to inform the research and/or CLIMARES thematic axes (in case of a center researcher) associated with the computational resource requested. The registered account will be valid for one year, with the possibility of extension justifying to the Management Committee.

Types of storage and processing

The cluster CLIMARES has two types of storage:

• Storage: HD data storage with large storage but low read/write speed. Occasional access. Files in this location will be maintained indefinitely.

• Process: SSD data storage with low space but high read/write speed. Continuous access. Files in this location will be removed automatically after 6 months of inativity.

Each registered user (regardless of the group) will be limited to 100 GB storage in each storage type, up to 1000000 files. If more storage space is necessary, the user must contact the Management Committee justifying the necessity.
