To access JSC you first need to sign up as a visitor to Forschungszentrum Jülich. We will have provided the necessary data and information to our Visitors' Reception. Please note, however, that each participant must present a valid identity card or passport to be able to enter the Forschungszentrum.

If you make use of the shuttle service, entering though the gate will be much easier and prepared for. If this is not the case and you arrive on your own, please go to the Visitors' Reception at the main gate and mention the JUQUEEN workshop and the local contact Dirk Brömmel.

Once you arrive at JSC, you can then register for the workshop.

The hands-on sessions will take place in our computer labs and we encourage everyone to make use of the provided workstations. The benefit will be a more stable connection and better usability of the graphical tools we provide on JUQUEEN.

The workstations in our labs do require a separate user account and you will have received details of this account before you come to Juelich. This account will only be valid for the time of the workshop and will be deleted afterwards.

Since you will be using your project's compute time resources on JUQUEEN, please make sure that logging in to our HPC systems with your project account is possible. As you know, this requires ssh-key authentication.

You have two possibilities to achieve this:

1. You will have received the public key of your personal computer lab account via email. You should make this key known to JUQUEEN. In order to enable log-ins with this key, copy it to your $HOME on JUQUEEN and execute the following command:
   
   cat ${HOME}/id.pub >> ${HOME}/.ssh/authorized_keys
   (Or an appropriate line if you changed the path or filename.)
   
   
2. As an alternative, at the expense of spreading your private data:
   Copy the private ssh-key you already use and that matches the public key on JUQUEEN to the computer lab account. This can be done during the workshop provided you have access to your private key (e.g. via scp or on a USB key).

Wireless access at JSC

If you wish to connect to our wireless network during the workshop, your laptop will have to be registered first. Please email us the hardware address (MAC) of your wireless network card (e.g. 01:23:45:67:89:ab). Alternatively, access can also be granted once you are here.

Participants are responsible for booking their own hotel accommodation. A number of rooms has been reserved in hotels in Jülich for 4-6 February 2013 . Hotel reservation has to be done before January, 25. Please be sure to mention the "JUQUEEN Workshop" when booking the accommodation.

We will provide a complementary shuttle service, which will take participants from their hotels in Jülich to the Forschungszentrum Jülich in the morning and back to their accommodation in the evening. Buses will be clearly marked. The bus schedule can be found in the agenda. If you miss the shuttle bus, you can take the regular bus line SB11 from Jülich to the Forschungszentrum at your own expence (ticket 1,60 Euro per trip).
