Introduction
The IT services at the Carl von Ossietzky University operate the central high-performance compute (HPC) cluster CARL, which can be used by all members of the university for research and teaching. The users are supported (e.g. by expert advice, software installations, HPC courses) by Scientific Computing, a division in the BI in the School V - Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
The use of the HPC cluster, and with it the need for support, has increased steadily in recent years. In order to do justice to this development, Scientific Computing was permanently expanded with the position of a software administrator from 1 June 2018.
The financing of this additional position was discussed in the Scientific Computing Advisory Board and in the Faculty Council of the FK V and was decided with the result that the financing will be proportionally provided by the Faculties II, V and VI (as well as by study quality funds). In addition, a small part of the personnel costs amounting to 16,000€ is to be borne by the institutes/departments using the system. This usage fee will be charged annually from 1 January 2019.
Additional Information
The cost-sharing model and procedures were announced by e-mail on October, 23rd, 2018 (see PDF in German).
The HPC cluster usage and other information relevant for the cost-sharing can be obtained with the tools described in the section Managing your Group.
