JUSTUS2/Policy Agreement

JUSTUS 2 Policy - Agreement - V3

For all users of bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 for Computational Chemistry and Quantum Sciences the of use for services of the Communication- and Information Center (kiz) of Ulm University apply. When registering for the service, you comply with above mentioned terms of use. Additionally you ...

• agree to use the cluster only for research in accordance with DFG funding conditions
• agree to acknowledge the bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 in your publications
• agree to send us references to all publications with contributions by JUSTUS 2
• comply with the terms of use of the software manufacturers
• agree to report any problem that might endanger the cluster operations
• agree to use the resources carefully (without wasting cores, memory or disk space)
• accept that the system is monitored to prevent misuse
• accept that job and software usage statistics are collected for improving the service and reporting to the DFG
• assure that your compute activities comply with the German Foreign Trade Act (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz - AWG) und German Foreign Trade Regulations (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung - AWV), see https://www.bafa.de/DE/Aussenwirtschaft/Ausfuhrkontrolle/Academia/academia_node.html
• agree to contribute to reports for the DFG
• acknowledge that your home directory and work spaces will be deleted after expiration of your account (thus you are responsible to backup your files before your account expires)
• will cause no constant file writes from jobs to $HOME: Any calculation swap file has to stay on the local node. Multinode-jobs that must use a common filesystem use workspaces.
• no long cpu/memory intense calculations on login/vis nodes. Those nodes are for interactive use, compiling and short tests.
• no storage of important results in workspaces (there are no backups!)
• no mass-flooding the batch manager with very short (minutes) jobs
• plan/submit calculations so you can fill nodes (nodes are user-exclusive on J2, only your jobs can run on a node you use)
