When submitting a publication based on results from SciNet computations, we ask that you use the following line in the acknowledgements:

Computations were performed on the [systemname] supercomputer at the SciNet HPC Consortium. SciNet is funded by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada; the Digital Research Alliance of Canada; the Ontario Research Fund: Research Excellence; and the University of Toronto.

(replace [systemname] with the appropriate system, e.g. Niagara, Mist, Rouge, ...).

Also please cite the Niagara deployment paper:

and the SciNet datacentre paper:

Chris Loken et al. 2010, "SciNet: Lessons Learned from Building a Power-efficient Top-20 System and Data Centre", J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 256 012026 doi: (10.1088/1742-6596/256/1/012026)

This helps us automatically track publications that use SciNet. Such publications are are both useful evidence of scientific merit for future resource allocations for you the user, and help us demonstrate the importance of computational resources such as SciNet to our funding partners. Also please feel free to email details of any such publications, along with PDF preprints, to support@scinet.
