Supercomputing system trial usage

1. Outline

"Can I run a program that I used on my PC with the supercomputer?"
"Can applications available at the Center for Computational Materials Science be used for my research?"
There is a demand for trying these and others.

With this usage frame, you can try out the supercomputing system for up to two weeks. Currently, it takes time to apply for the supercomputing system because it is necessary to apply for the research project, to examination and to adopt it.
Therefore, we will provide "Supercomputing System Trial ". Applicants can use the supercomputing system for up to two weeks before applying for joint use issues. We hope to improve convenience for researchers and promote research.

2. Qualification for use
