This page summarizes how to access the HPC platforms and associated storage using the PERSEUS user account and project management system. In time, this process will be extended to other GRICAD services.
Access to the GitLab and Jupyterhub platforms is done using your AGALAN login.
Access to the NOVA platform is currently possible by contacting us.
The first step is to request a PERSEUS account.
Once you have submitted your request, you will be able to log in to the PERSEUS website and access some of its functions:
You will not be able to perform any other actions on the PERSEUS website or access any other GRICAD services until your account has been activated.
PERSEUS accounts are not limited to members of research laboratories from Grenoble. You can create a PERSEUS account even if you are an external collaborator. The only limitation as an external collaborator is that you cannot have a permanent account and be a project manager; that privilege is reserved for members of Grenoble research laboratories.
If you are a permanent staff member of Grenoble research lab, you can create a new project when you request your account. All other users must request to join an active project.
We cannot activate your account until the project owner has approved your request to join the project.
Once you belong to at least one project and have an active account, you’re ready to connect to the clusters
Read the documentation and apply good practices.
In summary, you must complete all of these steps to gain access to the GRICAD resources: 1) Create a PERSEUS account; 2) Request to join an active project; 3) The project owner approves your request to join the project; 4) GRICAD validates your account.
If you are a permanent staff member and you created a new project along with your account, then you must wait for your scientific pole managers to approve the projects. Once this is done, your account will be activated automatically.
