The Space Physics Data Repository systems were purchased with a grant from the [Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust](https://www.carvertrust.org/) and are located at the UIowa [Information Technology Facility (ITF)](https://www.facilities.uiowa.edu/building/0290).
This Space Physics Analysis Computing Environment (now, wouldn't that have been a better acronym :wink: ) will be available to support computing and data storage needs for all space physics researchers in the [Department of Physics and Astronomy](https://physics.uiowa.edu). In particular, all operations formerly supported by systems in 708 VAN are in the process of being migrated to this new facility.

Be sure to understand the [terms of service](https://space.physics.uiowa.edu/spdr/). In particular, please [acknowledge the Carver Trust](https://space.physics.uiowa.edu/spdr/carver-acknowledgement.html) in any associated publications and presentations.
The systems are co-managed by [CLAS Linux](https://clas.uiowa.edu/linux/) with direct management tasks being performed by [Larry Granroth](https://space.physics.uiowa.edu/\~ljg/) @ljg. (Dani @dgcrawfo will be added when she has time to deal with it.) The systems are fully integrated with the university Active Directory, so you can login with your hawkid and password. Note that accounts must first be enabled by the SA. Feel free to contact Larry directly with any requests or questions.

The systems initially will be configured with [Rocky Linux 8](https://rockylinux.org/) with software and file organization very similar to the [RPWG](https://space.physics.uiowa.edu/plasma-wave/) systems managed by Larry. Similarly, a login on any system will provide access to all the same software, user, and data directories. If you need to scale up to utilize more compute resources, you only need to run on multiple servers.
