Anonymized Summary:

A user requests: 1. Additional storage space for their account ([USERNAME]). 2. Access to the maxgpu partition for computationally intensive tasks.

Suggested Solution/Next Steps:

  1. Storage Request:
  2. The user should clarify the required storage size and intended use (e.g., temporary/long-term, data type).
  3. If the request aligns with Maxwell’s policies, the service team can allocate space or guide the user to appropriate storage options (e.g., /scratch, /work).

  4. Access to maxgpu Partition:

  5. The maxgpu partition is restricted to DESY staff with suitable applications (see context).
  6. The user must email maxwell.service@desy.de with:
    • A brief explanation of the application (e.g., GPU-accelerated simulations, AI/ML workloads).
    • Confirmation of DESY affiliation (if applicable).
  7. If approved, access will be granted based on resource availability.

  8. General Notes:

  9. For urgent issues, use the ticket system: maxwell.service@desy.de.
  10. Subscribe to the maxwell-user mailing list for updates.
