Description
KyRIC OpenStack allows users to create custom Linux Virtual Machines (VMs) with high core, RAM and storage requirements that are needed to run intensive applications. The VMs can accommodate unique/custom software stacks, host web applications, and provide GUI environments. This platform may be an ideal option for researchers who want more control on their computing environment that a traditional supercomputing cluster may not offer. Most OpenStack functions can be done through a web GUI. Once created, VMs can be accessed directly using Secure Shell (SSH).
The hosts for the VMs are 20 hypervisor nodes, each with 3 TBs of RAM and 80 threads. The system is available to all researchers on campus.

Those requesting an account will have to list the PI/supervisor's name and the user's linkblue ID, and provide a brief description of the research to be performed on the system and the compute requirements (cores, RAM, disk amounts).
