To apply and register as an NNIN/C member and obtain an account on the NNIN/C AMD Opteron cluster and large SUN Machines, please do the following two things.
| (1) |
(i) |
Go to http://www.cns.fas.harvard.edu/ and under User Info click “How do I become a NNIN/CNS user ?” |
| |
(ii) |
Fill out the requisite forms in hard copy (the forms can be filled out using Adobe Acrobat, but we need signatures, so the forms have to be ultimately printed out and physically sent or brought in). |
| |
|
(A) For Harvard Users that includes two forms: Application form and Registration form. Also, the application form requests that you attach your proposal (please don’t forget this). This is a one page description of your nanoscience project. The instructions for completing this material is in the relevant CNS web page. |
| |
|
(B) Non-Harvard users will also need to fill out a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Currently there is no cost to usage of NNIN/C facilities, but this MOU document still requires signatures of appropriate people in your institution. Non-Harvard users must also fill out the registration and application forms discussed in (A) above. Please note: computational users do not need to fill out a “billing information form” as there is no charge for any of our services.
NOTE: in contrast to the instructions on the CNS web pages, computation users may submit both application (with proposal) and registration forms simultaneously.
Please note: all of these forms must be filled out in hardcopy and mailed or delivered to James Reynolds, Center for Nanoscale Systems, Harvard University, LISE Building, 3rd floor, Cambridge, MA 02138 |

| (2) |
Go to http://apply.deas.harvard.edu/ and apply for a DEAS account. This is an online form and is only about one page. Please put, as sponsor, Stopa/NNIN and the e-mail address of Michael Stopa: stopa@cns.fas.harvard.edu. There is a section in the form marked “Systems” which, for most people, can be ignored. After you have filled these out, specifically the second, I must send an independent e-mail to SEAS to allow you access to NNIN/C resources. Therefore, when you have completed number (1) and number (2) above, please send me an e-mail indicating that you have done so and I will send an e-mail to SEAS as required. The whole process rarely takes more than three days and is usually complete within one, once the forms are in. |
Do not complete (2) if:
Note that if you are applying/registering as an NNIN member but NOT applying for an account on our compute cluster (e.g. you are just downloading some software packages, having simulations done for you by NNIN members or receiving consultation on computational matters from NNIN personnel) then, of course, you do not need to complete part (2) above.
Address all issues to: Michael Stopa, Director: National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Computation Project, Center for Nanoscale Systems, LISE Building 316, Harvard University, 11 Oxford St., Cambridge, MA 02138, phone: 617-496-6932, stopa@cns.fas.harvard.edu. |
