Spalloc

The SpiNNaker Allocation Service (Spalloc) allows the board of the SpiNNaker 1Million machine to be split up into user allocations of groups of a number of connected boards. These boards are isolated from the rest of the machine by the service, ensuring that one user’s simulation does not interfere with another. The service allows users to log in using EBRAINS usernames and passwords to see and control their existing allocations. The service also provides a proxy connection to the boards using websockets, which allows the allocation to be used from anywhere in the world. This is used by the SpiNNaker software to enable access to the machine from the EBRAINS Jupyter lab.
