Get Project¶
You can create your project on the following link. Currently, three categories of projects are available:
Test Projects¶
Test projects are used mostly for compilation and initial testing of user jobs. Test projects can be requested by scientists and researchers from Slovak public universities and the Slovak Academy of Sciences, as well as from organizations of public and state administration and private companies registered in the Slovak Republic.
Test project allocation
- Maximum project duration: 4 months
- Available project allocation on both clusters: 50,000 CPU core-hours and 780 GPU core-hours
The aim of the call is to provide eligible applicants with access to HPC within a timeframe and allocation that will allow them to effectively test software applications and procedures for solving more extensive projects. It is assumed that after testing, the user will submit a so-called standard project, for which a specific allocation can be requested for one year. The testing approach can, of course, also be used for smaller-scale projects.
Standard Projects¶
Standard access to HPC can be requested by scientists and researchers from Slovak public universities and the Slovak Academy of Sciences, as well as from organizations of public and state administration and private companies registered in the Slovak Republic.
Access is provided exclusively for civil and non-commercial open-science research and development. Commercial research and development or production calculations cannot be carried out within this call.
Standard project allocation
- Maximum project duration: 1 year
- Time between two consecutive calls: 4 months
- Available allocation for the call on Devana cluster: 26 M CPU core-hours and 1.5 M GPU core-hours (92,000 GPU hours) distributed among all accepted projects in the given call
- Available allocation for the call on Perun cluster: To be determined.
The aim of the call is to provide eligible applicants with access to HPC in such a scope that enables the complete realization of high-quality research and innovative projects. The project should be comprehensively defined in the application, including motivation and specific objectives. The applicant should describe the project implementation plan, i.e., how they plan to utilize machine time to achieve the defined goals.
The open-science concept assumes that project outputs will be published in peer-reviewed journals or published in another form. The lead investigator is required to prepare a final project report and submit it within two calendar months of project completion.
The project can be extended if necessary, upon receiving a sufficiently justified request from the lead investigator. Final reports will be published on the coordinator's website, in printed materials, or as part of another form of presentation of their activities.
Allocation usage
The full allocation is guaranteed only if computing time is used evenly throughout the project duration. If usage is uneven, full utilization is not guaranteed and any unused computing time expires at the end of the project.
Commercial Projects¶
Commercial projects are intended primarily for users from private companies. Access for such projects is provided on a paid basis and is charged according to an agreement with the COO SAS.
After successful approval of the project, you should obtain information about project activation. Once the project is activated, you will be able to run jobs and compile software.
You can then add or remove project co-investigators as needed.
