[NLPL Infrastructure] Setting up a computing account on Puhti and LUMI for NLP researchers at the University of Copenhagen?

[Desmond Elliott]

Hi,

I just spoke with a visiting PhD Fellow (Vinit Ravishankar) about the excellent computing facilities available through the NLPL initiative. This reminded me about an email from 2020 and I would like to follow up on this but the linked application form (http://wiki.nlpl.eu/index.php/Infrastructure/resources) is no longer active. Can you point me in the direction of the most recent application form?

Thanks!

Hi,

Please forward to any other KU NLP staff (including PhDs/postdocs) if they are not on this list.
I am now the KU site representative in the NLPL virtual laboratory, which provides access to clusters we can use (Saga, Puhti).

Here is information I got from Stephan Oepen:

i am writing to clarify access conditions for HPC resources under the
NLPL umbrella.  our original NeIC-funded project completed last year,
such that we need to establish a new framework for collaboration that
will allow KU researchers to gain access to the NLPL virtual
laboratory.
fortunately, both the norwegian and finnish national providers have in
principle agreed that we can continue the 'blanket' collaboration with
the members of the original NLPL consortium (which included KU) under
the auspices of the new EOSC-Nordic project, where oslo and helsinki
participate as representatives of the nordic NLP research community.
personally, i believe it is worth being somewhat organized about this,
as NLP research is slated to become one of the prioritized user
communities on the forthcoming EuroHPC LUMI system, which starting
from mid-2021 is likely to bring gpu deluge to northern europe:
https://datacenter.csc.fi/wp/about-lumi/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatacenter.csc.fi%2Fwp%2Fabout-lumi%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cde%40di.ku.dk%7C57cf0ba4a6184c69e37208d7d4969521%7Ca3927f91cda14696af898c9f1ceffa91%7C0%7C0%7C637211615525141931&sdata=W%2BYOQcvBPY83cP1YPA%2BlA3v2RNTTyKrkMzkNx6fW1G0%3D&reserved=0>
staff (including doctoral students) can gain access by making their
needs known to daniel and me and submitting the on-line account
application form linked here:
http://wiki.nlpl.eu/index.php/Infrastructure/resources<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.nlpl.eu%2Findex.php%2FInfrastructure%2Fresources&data=02%7C01%7Cde%40di.ku.dk%7C57cf0ba4a6184c69e37208d7d4969521%7Ca3927f91cda14696af898c9f1ceffa91%7C0%7C0%7C637211615525151925&sdata=YpyGpRQ5P%2FrWMGZi4EdTKECDlvdNDAjWaSWXknsc8Fs%3D&reserved=0>
they can request access until the end of the year (to be renewed,
assuming the conditions for access still hold) or until the end date
of their affiliation with KU, whatever comes first.
one important note of conduct: to lessen the load on central
(norwegian) support services, all inquiries regarding the NLPL
infrastructure (including technical questions) should be directed to
'infrastructure at nlpl.eu<mailto:infrastructure at nlpl.eu>' (who may then relay to additional support
staff).
