Service announcements Main navigation Open menu Uninett Sigma2 We offer Apply for e-infrastructure resources Apply for e-infrastructure resources Researchers can apply for an allocation on several computing and storage facilities in the national e-infrastructure. Below we explain how you can apply for allocations on the Sigma2 resources. Projects that already have an allocation but need increased quota in the current period can apply for an extra allocation. Note that applications for SSEW and AUS are submitted by e-mail. If you need temporary resources to conduct a course or workshop, see Course Resources as a Service (CRaaS). Please do not hesitate to contact us at sigma2@uninett.no if you have any questions before applying. GO TO THE APPLICATION PAGE Please read the guide below before applying. Guide on how to apply for resources How resources are granted? Resources on the national e-infrastructure are granted on a period basis. Each period lasts for 6 months, between 1 April to 30 September and 1 October to 31 March. Allocations are mainly granted through a call for resources prior to each period, where projects submit applications for resources before a set deadline on each call. Deadlines vary, but are usually in February and August. We announce all calls for resources in due time on our website. The Resource Allocation Committee evaluates all applications submitted within the deadline. The evaluation is done based on scientific merit. Applications submitted after the deadline will be processed once the period has started. Note that HPC applications submitted after the deadline will receive a lower scheduling priority than ordinary applications. This does not apply to applications for new projects. Allocations during a period Even though we strongly encourage projects to apply within the calls, we will accept applications during periods. Such applications are consecutively processed by Sigma2 within a couple of working days, though there may be challenges in meeting the needs in some cases, depending on available resources.
