This allocation must be requested, but we will continue allocations to anyone who now has one. On request this monthly allocation can be made larger, up to 20 GAUs per month. Make requests to Judy Miller. On the 20 th of each month, if we are running below our proportionate use rate for the month we will announce that additional GAUs are available and will accept new requests for allocation of those GAUs. This will be an additional opportunity to run large jobs near the end of the month.
Visitors are also eligible for allocations from the joint-use pool.
Graduate Research Assistants are considered visitors and are eligible for allocations from this pool. Most postdocs who are large users make arrangements to use resources from the pool of GAUs in the divisions with whom they work most closely. Some of the divisions have allocations much larger than ASP's, so work requiring runs of the large NCAR models or otherwise needing resources beyond those available to ASP must be arranged with those divisions. For work related to the CSM it is possible to request special allocations of CSL resources. If problems arise with this new policy, please let me know.
