How to access
Direct access
All Aalborg University users automatically have access to UCloud and can simply log in using their WAYF credentials (university logon credentials). This gives you access to "My Workspace" with a fairly substantial starting quota of CPU-hours that can be used in the standard web app environment. This is the quickest and most user-friendly way to access HPC as a first-time user.
UCloud users at AAU must be familiar with the details of the following codes of conduct and policies:
- The Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity
- AAU Policy for Research Data Management
- AAU policies for GDPR
- AAU data management recommendations
These policies cover the general rules all researchers (and students and TAP staff for GDPR) should abide by with regards to what kind of data may be kept, for how long, whether data can be re-used or recycled, and how long it should be archived for, etc.
Projects
If you require a larger CPU quota, a GPU resource, a Virtual machine or are working with sensitive data; you can apply for a project from CLAAUDIA's local resources.
Sensitive data:
- Researcher: You must have a WorkZone case number for your research project
- If you don't have a WorkZone case number you can apply Grants and Contracts using their registration form.
- Student: You cannot register projects with Grants and Contracts. As a student you are personally responsible for any data you collect. You must ensure that you comply with GDPR regulations for students.
- All: Only SDU compute resources may be used to handle sensitive data.
