| Oct 8, 2021 at 13:47 | comment | added | Chris H | @Issel it's quite easy to fall into a gap with a project that's a bit big for a standard-issue desktop, but too small to be worth the hassle/cost of getting onto a supercomputer. Or it looks fine at first on the standard desktop, but doesn't scale well to the full problem. Sometimes the solution is a custom desktop but uni purchasing policies can make that very difficult and expensive. I've just beefed up the RAM in my uni machine at the expense of an idle machine for similar reasons (slightly different - I need a Win10 VM to run CAD packages under a Linux host) | |

| Oct 8, 2021 at 12:16 | comment | added | enthu | This question comes to my mind but may be a duplicate of yours: “Providing facilities for research, such as computational tools, software, laboratory tests, etc; are these a form of contribution to papers? How much of those forms of supports should be just acknowledged and how much more should be counted as a significant contribution and name of contributor may be mentioned between authors?” | |

| Oct 8, 2021 at 9:23 | comment | added | Archisman Panigrahi | The friend is a classmate. Buying a lunch is something I certainly had in mind, I wanted to know if I can also acknowledge in the paper, and I got the answer to that. | |
| Oct 8, 2021 at 8:52 | comment | added | Chris H | @Buffy how about both? I know acknowledgements don't count for much, but it's nice to say publicly that someone is helpful and a good collaborator. It's not clear whether the friend is still in academia. OTOH maybe they're working for a tech firm on a massive salary and would feel awkward having a lunch bought for them by their grad student friend | |

| Oct 7, 2021 at 20:17 | comment | added | Archisman Panigrahi | Just in case, my work is related to numerically diagonalizing Hamiltonians of certain non-interacting quantum mechanical systems, and my supervisor said that using a cluster for it would be an overkill. I could work on my PC after upgrading the memory. | |
