Roles (i.e. who does what) on Mufasa
Mufasa is a high-performance server for resource-intensive processing. The machine has been set up and configured by E4, and bought by the Bioengineering Section of Politecnico di Milano's Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB).
Mufasa is a multi-user system. People who interact with Mufasa can be subdivided into to three groups, i.e.:
- Job Users, i.e. people who run and manage their own jobs on Mufasa, but can neither intervene on the jobs of other users nor create new users. Job Users are people who need the computing resources of Mufasa for laboratory activity (e.g., experiments). Typically, Job Users are academic staff and Ph.D. students.
- Job Administrators, i.e. people who manage users and jobs. They can create new users and can intervene on process queues and jobs of any user. Typically, job administrators include specially skilled academic staff as well as people who supervise/support laboratory activities, such as lab technicians.
- System Administrators, i.e. people in charge of the setup, configuration and maintenance of Mufasa's hardware and software. The tasks of System Administrators include installing and configuring hardware and software components, managing software updates and executing periodic activities such as system backups. The System Administrators of Mufasa are the ICT technicians of DEIB.
