ISC, RIKEN

In this fiscal year, GW-MPC is relatively unoccupied, and some projects have run out of allocated core hours. Therefore, in order to make effective use of the system, we will begin experimental operation that the projects exhausted the allocated core hours of GW-MPC will be lowered the priority and allowed execution.

We will add core hours to the projects which exhausted core hours of GW-MPC. No application required.

In order not to disturb the job execution of the projects which has not run out of allocated core hours, the priority (fair share value) is set to an extremely low value, so the jobs will only run if there are no
other jobs in the queue or using idle resources by the backfill function.

If you have any questions please send a message to
