Scientific Computing Facilities Accounts and Project Maintenance

All users of our systems must be a member of a research project, headed up by a principal investigator, who is a member of the Boston University faculty or academic research staff. If you are interested in using our facilities, you either need to be added to an existing project or apply (or have a faculty member you are working with apply) to create a new project. Please read this document for prospective principal investigators. The new project application is here.

All of the projects and accounts on our Scientific Computing Facilities (SCF) are managed by a web-based system where principal investigators (project leads) and users submit web forms to create new projects, add users to existing projects, request disk space, manage computer time, etc...

Application forms are here for all of these project maintenance tasks. We also have another section for monitoring existing accounts and projects.

The basics of using our facilities for both users and principal investigators are explained at these links.

Access to our Scientific Computing Facilities is offered free of charge to all users of the facilities.
