1-What are the conditions for acceptance of a project at NCHPC?

C:We usually have a few general conditions at our center and we evaluate each project individually. The basic criteria are whether the project really requires parallel and/or distributed computing, high volume of disk space, and require lots of RAM. Those who have used and/or developed this type of software will get priority. The serial-run programs are not accepted for time being.

2-Will there be any cost at NCHPC?

C: Currently we are studying costing algorithms and in the future we may ask for payment. For the time being, we do not require any fee for using the resources at the center. Should we start asking for payment of usage, we will let you know in advance. We are planning to come up with a solution with TUBITAK.

3-Is there a Gaussian program at the center?

C: We do have Gaussian and it is tuned with respect to infiniband. However, one needs to use more than 4 processors (or cores) a program called Linda is required. Currently we are testing Gaussian for more processors for our Computational Chemistry group but users are able to use (Linda + Gaussian).

4-Is it possible to attend to the training courses announced on the web site?

C:The training courses announced on the web site are for the adminstrator people at the center. However, we will announce a series of trainings for our users and we will inform you through e-mail.
We also plan to have the trainings as webinar in the near future.

5-When the program is compiled the error message below is written to the screen. What this the reason for this?

C:Derlemekte olduğunuz dosyalarda bir derleme hatası oluştu. Makefile cheks the date dates of the files it is about to compile to find out the latest compilation date. When the file date and system date do not agree you would get this message. To get rid of this proglem you need to change the date of the files.
