XSEDE

CIG administers a modest allocation on XSEDE resources to help CIG researchers perform small scale research tests and benchmarks, with the aim of obtaining their own XSEDE allocation.

Current allocation SUs:

Stampede2: 50,000 SUs; 2,048 GB (Ranch)
Expanse: 1,377,206 Core-hours; 2,048 GB
Expanse: 15,000 GPU Hours; 2,048 GB (Ocean) on PSC Bridges

Allocation expires 31 March 2022.

We remind all users that this allocation is for community use for use in benchmarking and small runs in preparation of your own allocation request. Please contact staff before submitting runs to ensure enough SUs are available.
