How to Acknowledge the Use of PDC Resources in Your Research

Gilbert Netzer, PDC

If you utilise any of PDC's resources (for example, computer systems, data storage or assistance from application experts) in your research, we ask that you acknowledge PDC in an appropriate way.

Here are the recommended acknowledgement formats from various organisations that grant researchers access to PDC's resources. The following information is also available on PDC’s website in the Research section in case you need to check it later: www.pdc.kth.se/research/acknowledgement-of-using-pdc-resources-for- research-1.918148 .

Access to PDC Resources through SNIC

The [computations/data handling/SIMILAR] were/was enabled by resources provided by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) at the PDC Center for High PerformanceComputing, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, partially funded by the Swedish Research Council through grant agreement no. 2016-07213.

If applicable, also add an acknowledgement for application support using either of the following.

[NAME] at PDC is acknowledged for assistance concerning technical and implementational aspects [OR SIMILAR] in making the code run on the [OR SIMILAR] PDC resources.

We thank [NAME] at PDC for [his/her] assistance with [describe tasks such as porting, optimization, etc.], which was made possible through application support provided by SNIC.
