PSI Tier-3 Physics Groups Overview

Note: Each group has a home page on this wiki that can be reached by the link in the Name column. Members need to be added in the form on these home pages. The table below is only the result of a wiki search.

Policies for the resource allocation on the PSI Tier-3

These policies were agreed upon in the first and second Steering Board meetings.

  1. We organize the users along Physics Groups
  2. For the purpose of the cluster organization, every user must be mapped exactly to one physics group (even though the user may work for several).
  3. The resources available to a physics group consist of the added up resources of its members. How these resources are used is up to the physics group's internal organization.
  4. Each physics group has one Responsible User who
    • takes care of managing the group's resources (e.g. deciding what data sets to delete).
    • is the single point of contact for the cluster administrators for organizational issues.
    • can propose a guest user (see below).
  5. The resources are equipartitioned between users
    • The NFS home directory space allocated to a user is 100 GB. A user may request more in extraordinary circumstances. Requests must be sent to the admin mailing list, and the steering board members will be notified about the request.
    • To mitigate the limited scratch space on the User Interface machines, we distribute the users across the different UIs according to their institute allegiance (since people in the same institute can easily negotiate among each other in cases of contention). This is by convention and not enforced in any hard way to preserve flexibility
      • UZH: (nodes will be assigned presently to all institutes)
      • ETHZ:
      • PSI:
  6. Each group may define two guest users who may be an external user (i.e. not belonging to ETHZ, PSI, or UniZ).
    • The guest user will not get own resources, but he can use the group's resources
    • The group's Responsible User is responsible for the guest user.
    • The Guest user's account will be of limited duration
