Name change for TURBOMOLE modules
Previously, we offered TURBOMOLE modules unter the name of turbomolex to designate the availability of the TmoleX GUI. To conform with our new naming scheme which takes the software developers/vendors’ branding into account and to avoid unnecessary confusion, we have decided to rename this module to TURBOMOLE.
We will support the old module name for some time to give users enough time to adjust and to prevent disruptions.
New Terms of Use and Data Privacy Agreement
We updated our data privacy agreement and the terms of use for the service “RWTH High Performance Computing”:
One major change is that we have two separate data privacy agreements now:
- One for the RWTH Compute Cluster and the RWTH JARDS online portal.
- One for the NHR JARDS online portal.
This change is necessary, because the NHR JARDS online portal will be used by all national HPC centers (NHR) in future.
We believe all documents are in the interest of our users and enable a fair, productive and secure usage of our HPC resources. Thus, your consent is assumed. Otherwise, you can delete your HPC account at any time:
The changes come into force at June 1st, 2023.
If you have any questions or problems, the colleagues at the IT-ServiceDesk (servicedesk@itc.rwth-aachen.de) will be happy to help you.
You can track any disruptions or security advisories that may occur due to the aforementioned change in the RWTH-HPC category on our status reporting portal.
