FY2026 JHPCN Call For Proposals for Joint Usage and Research

■ Notes for Existing mdxⅡ Users

The computational resources provided by JHPCN consist only of CPU resources, which are offered through the interoperability nodes (VMware environment).
Please note that this environment is different from the mdxⅡ CPU nodes (OpenStack).

Therefore, the environment you currently use on mdxⅡ cannot be directly transferred, and you will need to set up a new environment on JHPCN.
In addition, the user portal is not available on the interoperability nodes (VMware environment), so users cannot perform operations such as starting or stopping instances or modifying their resource configurations.

For details on how to use the system, please refer to the link below.
