On this page, we explain how to use our computing systems for HPCI projects and JHPCN-HPCI projects.
1. User ID
When you use the computing systems at our center, your "User ID" will be notified to you by email.
This User ID serves as your "HPCI local account" for accessing our systems.
(If you have specified Osaka University as your HPCI primary center, it can also be used as your "HPCI account".)

Additional Information
Project ID in Job Scripts
If your project continues to use the computing resources at Osaka University, you may use the same project ID as the previous fiscal year.
Specifically:
・In the HPCI web system (CMS, etc.), the project ID will be displayed as the "current fiscal year's project ID".
・In your job script, please specify the previous fiscal year's project ID as follows:
#PBS -A (previous fiscal year's project ID)
However, due to system constraints, the mount point for the shared storage is fixed as:
/gfarm/(project ID assigned at the first adoption)/
Please keep this in mind if you plan to use it.
Job Classes (Queues)
The job classes (queues) differ between shared usage and dedicated usage.
Please refer to the following pages for details.
These job classes are used for job submission, and after submission, jobs are automatically transferred to the execution queues.

An inquiry form is available at the following page.
