Principal investigators can request a larger allocation on the annual project renewal or at other times by submitting a Request for Additional Processor Allocation, which can be found by following the pointers on the project management Web pages . Large allocation requests are reviewed by the SCF Allocation Committee and generally require two to four weeks for a decision. Reporting Each month we send principal investigators a summary of usage and remaining allocations for their projects. Individual researchers are sent a summary of their own usage for all the projects with which they are associated. Individuals may also review the details of their recent usage and monthly summary information using the password protected Web pages which may be found under the project management Web pages .
Project accounting All usage accounting is based on projects.
For most researchers, those who only belong to one project, the fact that the accounting is project-based will be inconsequential. However, researchers who are associated with multiple projects must pay special attention to assure that their usage is properly attributed to the correct project. The procedures for doing this are described below. Each account on the system has been assigned a default project. This is the project which will be charged if no further actions are taken.
