The use of various Advanced Computing services is described in the regulations on our official website.
Access to all services is achieved by submitting a request through a web application which can only be accessed with an AAI identity. Depending on the nature of the scientific activity (defined in the right of access in the rulebook), the conditions for submitting requests are:
Each thesis must be registered as a separate project within the Advanced Computing service, meaning that each student has to have their own project. If, for any reason, you are unable to meet this requirement, please contact us at computing@srce.hr and explain your case. |
The title of a Practical Teaching project must include the name of the course. |
A request of the Practical Teaching and Thesis Preparation type for the purpose of using the Jupyter platform may also be submitted via the Merlin e-learning system. The procedure for opening a project on the Jupyter platform directly from an e-course in the Merlin system is shown at: Merlin 25/26 Povezivanje sustava Merlin i usluge Napredno računanje |
The diagram above shows the procedure for submitting a request and registering a user
The request for use is submitted by pressing "New request"(red button at the top of Figure 1), where it is necessary to mark the nature of the activity via the drop-down menu "Request type" (at the top of Figure 1):
Figure 1. Request submission page in the web application
After the type of request and/or project has been selected, it is necessary to fill in the "General" part (continuation of the web application page Figure 2 and Figure 3):
Figure 2. Part of the request page dedicated to the project details in the web application

Figure 4. Part of the page with all requests in the web application
When the request for use is approved, it is possible to send invitations to other project participants via the "Membership" tab, the "Invite collaborators" button (red and blue buttons at the top and bottom of Figure 5), depending on the nature of the activity you have reported:
Figure 5. Page for adding collaborators in the web application
By pressing the blue "Invite collaborators" button, the option to enter an email will open (Figure 6). In the case of adding collaborators from the research project, it is possible to select only the members of the research project in CroRIS, while in the case of adding members of practical classes or creating a paper, it is possible to enter all email addresses. By pressing the green "Pošalji poveznice za prijavu"(engl. Send application links) button, one or more invitations will be sent to the selected/entered email addresses, which the participants must confirm with their AAI identity.
Figure 6. Selection of collaborators' email addresses
After sending the invitation to the collaborator/associate, the entry in the "Prijavljen"(engl. Registered) column will change to the image of a green envelope (Figure 6).
When participants confirm their registration by clicking on the link sent, the "Prijavljen"(engl. Registered) column will change from the green image of the envelope to "Yes"
Important! The invitation is active 14 days after sending it to the collaborator/associate. If the associate does not confirm the invitation within that period, the invitation becomes inactive, it is automatically deleted, so it is necessary to send a new active invitation. |
To access the Supek cluster via an SSH session, it is necessary to load the public part of the SSH key by pressing "Public keys"(red button at the top of Figure 8). Add the public part of the key (Figure 8) by pressing the green "Add public key" button. Instructions for creating SSH keys are available on the page for creating an SSH key pair or in video instructions:
After adding the SSH key, you need to wait for the notification about the open account! |

After logging into the application, the homepage displays resource usage. All logged-in users can view their personal usage. If a user is also a project leader, additional tabs will appear, showing the usage of the projects they manage and the individual users within those projects
The first tab under the "Usage" tab allows leaders to view usage per project (Figure 10). By default, the monthly usage of each project for which the logged-in user is a leader is displayed as cumulative bars for the last 12 months. Placing the cursor over a specific bar displays the total usage for that project. The graphs are categorized by resource type, and projects are represented by the same colors across all resource usage graphs. The colors assigned to projects are displayed in a legend at the bottom of the page.
Clicking the "Cumulative display" button provides an overview of total project usage from the beginning of advanced computing resource usage to the present (or until the project's completion, if it is no longer active).
The "Years" dropdown menu allows filtering the display by year, with available options limited to years for which data exists. Users can also choose to view data for the last 12 months (default view; "Show Last 12 Months" option) or from the beginning of resource usage ("Show All" option).
The "Projects" dropdown menu allows users to display only selected projects. When specific options are checked, only those projects will be shown; if no projects are selected, all projects will be displayed. To improve readability, projects are listed in the dropdown menu by their codes. However, placing the cursor over a project shows a tooltip with its full name. Additionally, a button next to each project code allows users to copy the code to the clipboard.

On the second tab below the "Usage" tab, the leader's view can be selected, displaying the usage of individual users on the selected project (Figure 11). The name of the selected project is shown at the top right of the page, just below the toolbar with various options. By default, the graphs display the monthly usage of each user on the selected project over the past 12 months. Moving the cursor over the graphs reveals the usage data for each user. Each user is represented by the same color across all resource graphs, and the legend is located at the bottom of the page.
Clicking the "Cumulative display" button provides an overview of total usage from the start of the project to the present (or until the project is finished, depending on whether the project is active).
The "Users" dropdown menu is used to filter the display by user. Only selected users will be shown; if none are selected individually, data for all users will be displayed. The dropdown options include users for whom usage has been recorded, not all users logged into the project.
In the "Years" dropdown menu, you can select the year for which you want to view the display. The available options correspond to the years for which usage data has been recorded. Additionally, you can choose to view the data for the last 12 months (default view; "Show Last 12 Months" option) or from the start of resource usage ("Show All" option).
Selecting the project for which data is to be viewed is done through the last dropdown menu in the sequence, the "Projects" menu. The options are listed by project codes, but if you move the pointer over a specific option, a tooltip will display the full project name. Additionally, next to each code, there is a button to copy the project code to the clipboard.

After logging into the web application, resource usage can be found under the "Usage" tab (Figure 12). By default, cumulative graphs displaying monthly consumption across all projects for the last 12 months are shown. By clicking the "Cumulative display" button, you can view the total usage for each project from the start of its duration until today (or until the project ends, depending on whether it is still ongoing). When you place the cursor over a specific bar in the graph, it displays the usage for that particular project. The project is represented by the same color across all resource graphs, and the legend is shown at the bottom of the page.
In the "Years" dropdown menu, the display can be filtered by year. Additionally, there is an option to view the last 12 months (default view; "Show Last 12 Months" option), or view from the beginning of usage tracking ("Show All" option).
The "Projects" dropdown menu allows filtering by project. Projects are listed by their codes but when you place the cursor over a specific code, a tooltip will appear showing the full project name. Additionally, next to each project code, there is a button to copy the code to the clipboard. If no project is selected in the dropdown menu, all projects with recorded usage will be displayed.
