Project Adminstration

This section of the HPCx website allows users to request accounts at HPCx and monitor their status and resource usage. It also allows Principal Investigators (PIs) to manage and monitor their users and their supercomputing resources.

Admin FAQ

A full description of how HPCx is administered, and of the SAFE software suite which we use for this, can be found in the Admin FAQ. Consult this to discover how most admin tasks can be carried out.

EPCC has provided the SAFE software suite as our main tool to administer HPCx. Using SAFE, you can, for example:

• Pick your password for the service machine;
• Get another account on the HPCx system;
• Change your passwords;
• Join another project;
• Review your use of the system;
• Check how much time and disk space you have;
• Submit a query to the helpdesk, or check up on the queries you have already submitted;
• Register your approval or disapproval.

There are special SAFE functions for PIs and project managers, enabling them to administer their projects. For full details of the functions of SAFE, check the Admin FAQ.
