Access control management system for Moscow State University supercomputer

SAN FRANCISCO - Dec. 8, 2021 - PRLog -- In 2009 the Computing Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University launched its supercomputer called Lomonosov, which by mid-2011 ranked 13th in the global supercomputers ranking. Known as Octoshell, its access control management system was developed by Evrone.

The supercomputer was frequently used for computations in large-scale scientific projects and lab work by MSU students. Prior to Octoshell real-time access control system introduction access to it would be granted via ticketing by paper mail. For obvious reasons, this communications channel is far from being instant.

As letters were travelling from one business or post office to another, user tasks could become irrelevant, while deadlines of scientific work could be moved. Given that the number of supercomputer users was meant to be increased dozens of times, there was a risk of being lost in paperwork and heavily slowing down effective resource assignment.
