FAQs
Dive into the following questions to gain insights into what NRP can provide to you.
We are the open community of scientists that together make it possible to collaborate free of limitations. We make cutting edge technologies available to anybody in scoentific community.
We are funded by the National Science Foundation to provide free access to non-profit research and education institutions.
As long as you work is related to a scientific project or educational use in US, you can use our infrastructure.
We provide hosted JupyterHub, Coder and other high level services that require no knowledge of kubernetes. You can also participate in our tutorials to learn more
We gladly accept donations in the form of hardware that you can join to our cluster. You can also help by spreading the word about the NRP
You will get priority in computing on your hardware whenever you'd like. When your hardware is not used by your group, we will provide opportunistic access to it to other NRP users.
We will install the OS, configure the node and do upgrades ourselves (we'll need IPMI access to install the OS). We might ask you to reboot the node or swap a hard drive if needed.
