Accounts, access and Policies

The Hábrók system is available to support scientific research and education. University staff members who wish to use the system for these purposes can request an account. Students may also use the system for courses, theses, or projects, but only with approval from their course/thesis/project supervisor whose name must be included in the form.

To request access, use the appropriate form based on your account type:

Request Access for Staff/PhD Students (P-account)Request Access for Students (S-account)

Note: Ensure you use the correct link corresponding to your account type (S for students, P for staff/PhD students). You will be automatically subscribed to the Hábrók user mailing list, which is used exclusively for important notifications affecting all cluster users.

Users of the cluster have to adhere to the Acceptable use policy of the University of Groningen for university computer systems.

The login node of the cluster is used by all users of the cluster to login and submit jobs. A high load on the login node will impair the usability of the cluster for other users.
It is therefore not allowed to run processes that take a significant amount of memory or CPU power. We have a short queue available if you quickly want to test something. Alternatively, you could use one of the interactive nodes which have less severe restrictions.

Please be aware that the cluster is used by many researchers. We may therefore contact you if you do things that adversely affect the performance of the cluster for other users, in order to try to help you find ways to improve your workflow.

When accounts on the cluster expire, data of the account will be removed, in accordance to the university guidelines for account expiration.

If you want to remove your account from Hábrók, please fill in this form. Make sure you’re logged in with your RUG account to be able to fill in the form. You will then receive a confirmation email to which you need to reply before your account will be removed. Together with losing access to Hábrók, your data will be removed after a week. In addition, you will be unsubscribed from the Hábrók mailing list, and the Flying Falcon mailing list.
