Abstract

This paper discusses the unusual use of service desk system– tracking of computational tasks on supercomputers as well as the collection of statistical information on the calculations performed. Particular attention is paid to the possibilities of using such statistics by a supercomputer user as well as the data center staff. The analysis of system requirements for tracking computational tasks and capabilities of service desk and job scheduler systems led to design and implementation of a way to integrate these systems to improve computational tasks management.
