NOTURs role

NOTURs primary goal is to fulfill the need for computational resources from the the EDU sector in Norway. This is done by administrate money for cmoputer hardware to the four sites and by administrating a Resource Granting Committy (RFK) for evaluation of CPU quota applications.

The amount of CPU available in NOTUR is ever changing as new equipment are purchased. The ammount of CPU hours typically increasing.
