Introduction
Cy-Tera and the EU-funded LinkSCEEM projects allow researchers from Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean region to apply for time on high-end high-performance computers via a peer review process. The projects provide user support to assist prospective users in using the HPC systems available and a training portal for introducing users to material necessary for preparing applications for such systems. Information on requesting user support and accessing the training material, as well as on the process for access & allocations of compute resources can be found below.
Primary User Support
User support is provided via an online helpdesk system. The helpdesk service can be contacted via the email address:
