Accessing LinkSCEEM resources HPC Roadshow Accessing LinkSCEEM resources

Who are the resources in LinkSCEEM for?

Aim of the resource allocation process The purpose of this application process is to provide computational resources to the most deserving projects Recognising how the resources are used Recording the science being generated Applications are encouraged from all scientific fields Keep those slides???

What are the different types of access? Preparatory access – up to 50K core hours (6 months) Call always open Code Scalability Code Development (c) Code Development with support Production access – up to 200K core hours (12 months) Two calls each year
