Policies

Currently, the URC Cluster usage policies are very informal:

accounts are available on request for any member of the faculty, or for a graduate student participating in a faculty sponsored research project.
cluster users may submit an unlimited number of short jobs (under one hour of cpu time) but should try to limit their submissions to no more than 48 total processors on concurrent medium length jobs (up to one day of run time) or 24 total processors on concurrent long running jobs (over one day of run time).
cluster storage should not be used for long time archival of results or data files. The intent of the cluster storage is to support short term storage of input data, results and intermediate files as needed to support actively running processes or active projects.

As needed, these policies will be refined and additional policies will be added in cooperation with the URC Steering committee and with input from the cluster user community.

About Us

University Research Computing (URC) is one of several support groups within Information & Technology Services (ITS). Our mission is to support the unique computing needs of UNC Charlotte's diverse community of research faculty by developing shared computing facilities and offering specialized services that would be difficult for individual research groups or departments to provide internally.
