[NLPL Task Force (A)] fyi: Student accounts on Abel

[Stephan Oepen]

colleagues,

as the first batch of uppsala students has been automatically added to our
‘users’ mailing list the past few nights, i realize i should have copied
you on the exchange with joakim below.

strictly speaking one could maybe argue that adding more users to an
existing site is not really an allocation decision, but nevertheless i feel
that adding at least a dozen student users is a relevant step for us to
take :-).

i just hope our increased user base will compute happily, maybe give useful
feedback, and not put too much support strain on either us or the Abel
administrators :-).

best, oe

hi joakim,

i have not seen any indication yet of us stretching things too far, so
i would say what i wrote to mats a couple of weeks ago applies to this
larger group of students just as well.  as of this semester, we have
tried something similar: setting up second-semester MSc students on
Abel for course work even before they start work on their MSc project
in earnest.

i suggest we just use the ‘standard’ procedure, i.e. you point those
students to the on-line account application form for Abel:

http://wiki.nlpl.eu/index.php/Infrastructure/resources

i need to electronically sign each incoming application; in the past,
i usually knew what to expect so did not necessarily double-check with
the site manager.  in this case, i imagine it could be helpful if you
just emailed me a list of the students beforehand (or shared an
on-line spreadsheet, where i could even try to record whose
applications i have seen).

best wishes, oe

students altogether, and not all of them will need HPC support for their
project or master’s thesis, but I estimate that at least half of them
probably will. Based on your answer to Mats recently, I am optimistic in
thinking that they can get accounts on Abel through NLPL. If this is the
case, would you prefer for me to send you a list of all students with email
address, or do you want them to contact you individually (or should we use
a completely different procedure)?
