JUSTUS 2 Policy - Agreement - V3

For all users of bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 for Computational Chemistry and Quantum Sciences the terms 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 avoid swap file I/O operations or any other intense I/O to HOME - swap files of single-node jobs must use the node local disk space
• will not run long cpu/memory intense calculations on login/vis nodes - those nodes are for interactive use, compiling and short tests only
• will not store important results in workspaces, since they are not included in any backup
• will not mass-submit very short (minutes) jobs to the batch system
• will plan/submit calculations in such a way that those jobs fill entire nodes - since nodes are user-exclusive on JUSTUS 2
