[NLPL Task Force (A)] trial usage on DaaS

[Stephan Oepen]

dear colleagues,

in our NeIC-funded project NLPL (‘http://www.nlpl.eu’), we are
currently running up against limited gpu availability on the Abel and
(finnish) Taito clusters.

hence, i am wondering whether it would make sense for us to explore
usage of the DaaS service platform?  we have a handful of
technologically reasonably seasoned doctoral fellows who will be eager
to gain access to gpus (typically to run TensorFlow or PyTorch).

if this sounded like a plausible trial use case to you at this point,
i would suggest you set up a namespace (preferably ‘nlpl’ :-) for us
and point us at available documentation for users to gain access and
get started.

all NLPL users (including those from outside norway) have MAS
accounts, to access Abel, so i am hoping non-feide users will also be
able to connect to DaaS?

with thanks in advance, oe
