Terms of access to S-CAPAD
Cluster Lenovo/Dante
Use of the Lenovo cluster can be granted only upon receipt of the cluster account opening request form; with declaration of having read and complied with the Charter of Good Use of Computer Resources.
After validation by the scientific head of S-CAPAD, the user will receive a confirmation email with the instructions to access the cluster and its documentation.
Access to S-CAPAD from outside
Users must first have an account on the cluster before applying for an account on the firewall.
This procedure uses java, and it’s supposed to work with all browsers.
Access to the S-CAPAD resources from outside IPGP is done by log in the firewall (https://fw.ipgp.fr) where users must have an account. If it’s not the case,
- IPGP members should consult the documentation in the
intranet, - others must complete and send by mail the firewall account opening request form.
Once connected on the firewall, click on “Open secure access in an application” to get a .jnlp file.
(java can be retrieved here).
