User Support
User support is offered by competent experts.
Supercomputer support
Our high-level support team supports the users in case of problems on our systems, e.g. porting of the application, parallelisation and performance issues as well as usage of the HPC system.
Tel. +49 2461 - 61 2828, E-mail: sc@fz-juelich.de
Dispatch
Our dispatch team is responsible for the user administration, creates user accounts on the HPC systems and supports the users to access the supercomputers. The dispatch is additionally responsible for database-accounts as well as external access to JuNet and WLAN, and is registration authority for certificates.

Project Mentor
A mentor is assigned to each scientific project, that is currently being conducted on the supercomputers at JSC. The mentor acts as a permanent point of contact between the project and JSC. The mentor is available for requests concerning further support and training offers by JSC or helps to arrange in-depth code analyses. The individual mentor of each project can be found within the project overview in JUDOOR.
More information concerning the project mentor is available here.
Cross-sectional teams
There are three special task forces taking care of code scalability:
The cross-sectional team "Mathematical Methods and Algorithms" provides know-how in numerical kernels and assists users in using these algorithms: Mathematical Methods and Algorithms
The cross-sectional team "Performance Analysis" offers several tools to analyze parallel programs and supports in the usage of these tools : Performance Analysis
The cross-sectional team "Application Optimization" offers special support for users on program optimization: Application Optimization
The cross-sectional team "Visualization" gives support for the visualization of scientific data and for multimedia productions: Visualization
The cross-sectional team "Deep Learning" provides support for users with the application of deep learning methods: Deep Learning
All teams are strongly collaborating with the simulation laboratories. The Simulation Laboratories also offer a dedicated call for preparatory access.
Distributed Compute and Data Services Support
The Juelich Distributed/Data Services Support Team (DS-Support) supports the users of distributed computing and data services, such as
- UNICORE to seamlessly access compute and data-infrastructures,
- Data transfer (uftp, gridftp, ...),
- Data publication (B2SHARE, datapub, ...) and
- Data sharing (B2DROP, JOIN, ...) as well as
- Data Analytics/Deep Learning methods.
