Our Services

Supercomputer System demands two services: Basic Service and Computational Service.

Basic Service(Mail Server, Web Server, File Server)

This is the necessary service to being Supercomputer System's user, and who is called "SCL user".

SCL user is given SCL account "username" and e-mail address "username@scl.kyoto-u.ac.jp".
SCL user may open your Web site by using File Server.
The URL for Web site is "http://www.scl.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~username".

If you keep your SCL account for next school year, you must submit "Keizoku Riyou Shinsei Sho (継続利用申請書)" to SCL by the end of February.

 

Computational Service

This is an optional service. You may login computational servers "SDF" and/or "Apollo2000" after being permitted to make use of computational service.

Many applications such as Gaussian, Forcite, CASTEP, DMol3 etc.and programming environment are provided on these computational servers.

If you delete your SCL account or keep your SCL account for next school year, you must submit an research report what is called "Kenkyu Seika Houkoku Sho (研究成果報告書)" to SCL.

Time limit for SCL account

Time limit for SCL account is the end of the school year, March. If you want to keep your SCL account for next school year, you must apply to SCL for "Keep SCL account".

If you don't apply, your account and your files will be deleted at next school year.
