LUNARC was formed as a collaboration between groups in Theoretical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry 2, and Structural Mechanics in 1986. The founding members were later joined by Theoretical Physics and in 1996, LUNARC was transformed into a centre for scientific and technical computing at Lund University. Together with five other centres, LUNARC became a part of the Swedish National Infrastructure f

The basic requirement to use the resources is membership in a compute project. This is handled through the NAISS database - website of the Swedish User and Project Repository (SUPR).The different steps are:1. Create a SUPR accountSUPR offers a number of ways to login. For employees at Lund University, the most convenient is "Login using SWAMID", which simply means using the Lucat-ID.Once inside SU

Projects are resource allocationsAccess to LUNARC resources are managed via so-called projects, which are allocations of time for computation or allocation of storage space. Note that storage is only intended to be used in connection with computation and not as just a place to put data.Allocation projects should not be confused with scientific projects, which means that several scientific projects

A PI (or proxy) can add members to a project and, thus, grant access to the resources allocated to the PI, by managing the project in SUPR, but a person can also request membership. The request will be sent to the PI (and proxy) and the PI (or proxy) can then simply accept or deny the request.Procedure1. Log in to SUPRAll projects and users are handled through the Swedish User and Project Reposito

COSMOS-SENS is a special purpose system, intended for the analysis of sensitive data. The system uses the same hardware and software environment as the general purpose resource COSMOS, though internet access is not possible from COSMOS-SENS. There are extra security provisions when accessing the system.COSMOS-SENS is available to users. Proposals are handled through SUPR, similarly to the genera

Who can get access?LUNARC resources are funded by Lund University and faculties at the University. Anyone employed at the University can get access for research purposes without any extra charge. Members of other organisations, such, as other higher education institutions and companies, can also get access by special agreement, but this may include a fee corresponding to the actual cost of runnin
