ColdFront

ColdFront#

ColdFront is a user and resource management platform. Access to all HPC resources at Northwestern is handled through ColdFront. Everything in ColdFront is organized by Project; user and resource management is done per Project. Once a Project exists in ColdFront, access to HPC resources can be requested for that Project.
