I am about to use up all my allocated resource units (RUs) in my startup project account, how do I get more?
To request more resources, the principal investigator must prepare a proposal that will be sent for peer review. After the review process is complete, the Allocations Committee of the Statewide Users Group meets to determine the number of resource units to be awarded. The committee meets on the second Thursday of even-numbered months. PIs should submit their proposals at least three weeks before the meeting date to ensure inclusion on the agenda.
The application form is located at http://app.osc.edu/cgi-bin/app/. A complete application comprises the following items:
- Contact information of new authorized users
- Contact information of at least three recommended reviewers
- Electronic version of PI’s resume
- Publications list (publications, presentations, and articles that cite OSC)
- Justification and performance (quantitative estimation of the number of RUs per run times; the number of runs for the estimated duration of the request; performance reports of the code to be used or explanations about performance; report of any optimization performed on the code
- Proposal text
