High performance computing cluster
Registration process and account creation is via a workflow and will be handled automatically. Project creation can take up to 3 business days.

Registering a project
If you have a use for this program you will need to register your project. Note that you must be the lead researcher to register a project. Once the project is registered, your project colleagues and students can register individually.

Register project members
You will receive an email from the e-Research office in due course notifying whether your project has been accepted or rejected. If the project has been accepted your details will be sent to the ICT Service Desk for an account to be created on the appropriate computer.
Thus, your project becomes one group of accounts that access common resources. In due course, when the high performance cluster and research disk space come on line, your accounts will allow access to common files and resources under that project.
Please note that there may be up to a 48 hour turnaround for project requests (especially if any checking needs to be done), and 24 hours for account requests, depending on the availability of the lead researcher to authorise them.
It is expected Gaussian users are familiar with how it should run. A basic connection guide is available as Technical Note 1. Online manuals are available from the Gaussian website.
