1. Service of the Cloud System
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We have started providing the cloud system from 11:00 a.m. on Wed. November 30, 2022.
It is a small-scale cluster with a maximum of about 50 nodes,
however, we are taking advantages of the cloud and working on the efficient
operation by starting up a node when a job waiting for execution occurs.
The software environment including job scheduler and compiler is
basically the same as the systems that will be in operation after January.
Although the CPU generation is different, the instruction sets to support
are generally the same.
You can use the system for testing job submission, building a program environment,
and building software ahead of time.
We hope this will be useful for you.

8. Call for Collaborative Research Project for FX700 "Trial Use" and "Small Node Use" for FY2022（Reposting）
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ACCMS calls for proposals of the collaborative research project
for the “Trial Use" and the "Small Node Use" of the Fujitsu FX700
which is equipped with the same ARM processor as the supercomputer Fugaku
for research groups using our supercomputer with the Group Course in the fiscal year 2022.
The "Trial Use" of FX700 is intended to be widely tried by the users of our supercomputer
by making the application form simple.
The research report is also simplified and only operation report and performance report
of the executed application are required.
The collaborative research project for the "Small Node Use" will be adopted
from users who have already finished the operation confirmation of the application
on the "FX700 Trial Use". Submitted proposals are reviewed
by Supercomputer System Collaborative Research Planning Committee.
If your proposal is adopted, you will be required to submit a research report.
There is no cost burden for using this project.
