Support
For all kinds of requests please contact us via the APC user support system (section cluster support): APC Support
Informations of the cluster (status, updates, etc.) are communicated through the users' mailing list. Normally you should be added to the mailing-list in a short delay after the validation of account and informed by email, don't hesitate to contact us if not the case.
When using the DANTE cluster
- Mention the use of resources and the DANTE support in all project-related publications: Numerical computations were performed on the DANTE platform, APC, France.
- If only part of the calculations were performed on DANTE: Numerical computations were partly performed on the DANTE platform, APC, France.
