There are multiple ways to get an account budget (see also UG2.2 Become a User):

• A Principal Investigator (PI) of an already existing account can add you to it in the UserDB portal;
• You can apply for your own project by submitting your proposal for a ISCRA, PRACE projects or HPC Europe Transnational Access Programme;
• If you are member of an Italian research Institution with already existing agreements with CINECA (in this case send an email to superc@cineca.it);
• General users and Industrial Applications (send a request to superc@cineca.it)

Once your username has been associated with an active account you can request to have access to our HPC clusters by clicking on the button on your userDB personal page. (The button appears only after you have been associated to an account)

After we have granted you the access, you will receive two emails with the username and the password to be used to login. Remember once logged to change your password using “passwd” command. Our policies about password can be found in the "UG2.3 Access to the Systems" page.

Remember: Login credentials are to be considered as strictly personal, meaning that NO SHARING between members of the same working group is expected to happen. Every single user entitled with login credentials is to be considered personally responsible for any misuse that should take place.
