Citing DHPC

In order to track the impact of DHPC and DelftBlue for TU Delft scientists, we kindly ask you to kindly acknowledge us in your publications that made use of our infrastructure.

Adding a citation to Bibliography

Our preferred way of acknowledging the use of DelftBlue in your research publication is by citing the current version of the DelftBlue supercomputer1 (click on the small 1 to see a natbib example in the footnote) in the References/Bibliography section of your scientific publication as follows:

Delft High Performance Computing Centre (DHPC), DelftBlue Supercomputer (Phase 2), 2024, https://www.tudelft.nl/dhpc/ark:/44463/DelftBluePhase2

An example BibTex entry can be found below:

@misc{DHPC2024,
author = {{D}elft {H}igh {P}erformance {C}omputing {C}entre ({DHPC})},
title = {{D}elft{B}lue {S}upercomputer ({P}hase 2)},
year = {2024},
howpublished = {\url{https://www.tudelft.nl/dhpc/ark:/44463/DelftBluePhase2}},
ark = {ark:/44463/DelftBluePhase2}
}

In case the misc entry is not displayed including at least the URL, you may try this instead (this occurred for an Elsevier journal):

@manual{DHPC2024,
author = {{D}elft {H}igh {P}erformance {C}omputing {C}entre ({DHPC})},
title = {{D}elft{B}lue {S}upercomputer ({P}hase 2)},
year = {2024},
note = {\url{https://www.tudelft.nl/dhpc/ark:/44463/DelftBluePhase2}},
ark = {ark:/44463/DelftBluePhase2}
}

Adding text to Acknowledgements

If your journal does not approve of citing the system specifications in Bibliography, please just add the following text to the Acknowledgements section of your paper:

"The authors acknowledge the use of computational resources of the DelftBlue supercomputer, provided by Delft High Performance Computing Centre (https://www.tudelft.nl/dhpc)."
