  2. Allocations Overview • Many Allocatable Federal CI Resources • NSF • DOE • NIH • NASA • DOD • Focus on NSF Supercomputer Centers and TeraGrid • Allocation Types • Eligibility • Application Process • Links

  3. NSF Centers Allocations Overview • Three Levels of Compute Resource Allocations • Entry-level, or “Developmental” Allocations- (DAC) • < 10,000 SUs • For new users, course accounts, etc. • Accepted throughout the CY • Only abstract and PIs CV required • Medium Resource Allocations • < 200,000 SUs • Peer-reviewed • For users with mature computational projects • Reviewed quarterly by MRAC • Large Resource Allocations • > 200,000 SUs • Peer-reviewed • For users with very extensive computational requirements • Reviewed twice annually by LRAC

  4. NSF Centers Allocations Overview (continued) Data Resource Allocations - SDSC also offers data allocations for • long-term storage • data collection hosting • database hosting • Data allocation requests - accepted and reviewed at any time

  5. NSF Centers Allocations Overview (continued) Eligibility • (PI) must be a researcher or educator at a U.S. academic or non-profit research institution • PIs with support from any funding source, not just NSF, are encouraged to apply • SDSC follows guidelines from current NSF Grant Proposal Guide: www.nsf.gov/pubs/gpg/nsf04_23

  6. Application Process • Choose Allocation Resource • Choose Allocation Size • Write Your Proposal • Details for writing proposal to use any NSF-supported resource are available in the NSF Cyberinfrastructure Resource Allocation Policies. • Examples of well-written and successful MRAC and LRAC proposals • Submit Your Proposal • Compute Proposals submitted via secure NSF Partnership Online Proposal (POPS) https://pops-submit.ci-partnership.org/ • Proposals for storage and data allocations must be submitted to datacentral-allocations@sdsc.edu

  7. Links • NSF • POPS https://pops-submit.ci-partnership.org/ • SDSC Allocations: www.sdsc.edu/user_services/allocations/ • DOE • Office of Science FY2006 Call for Proposals for High Performance Computing Resourceshttp://hpc.science.doe.gov • Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program - INCITE 2006 Proposals www.nersc.gov/projects/incite • NIH • Center for Information Technology www.cit.nih.gov/
