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 starting quota of 2000 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.
Projects
If you require a larger CPU quota, access to GPU resources, a virtual machine, or need to work with sensitive data, you can apply for a project using CLAAUDIA’s local resources. The diagram below outlines the process for getting your project approved and set up on UCloud:
