To fill in the CPU time application, please see the instructions below. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are compulsory. You may
use English, Finnish or Swedish.
Name of the applicant* Type your first and last name
E-mail* Insert your e-mail address to receive a copy of your application
Phone Phone number is not obligatory
Code or name of your project at CSC* The Unix command saldo tells code(s) and name(s) of your project(s). This field is compulsory if you belong to more than one project.
Project manager* Normally the
project manager fills out the CPU time application. The project manager
may be a professor or other senior researcher at the department.
* One processor core hour consumes one billing unit (1 bu) of project's CSC quota on the following computers:
- louhi.csc.fi - vuori.csc.fi - murska.csc.fi - hippu.csc.fi
Tips for estimating the amount of billing units:
- The Unix command saldo provides information on CPU
time usage of your project since the beginning of the calendar year.
- For the average load and memory at CSC's computers, check Server Status.
- For details of CSC's computers, see
technical information.
Short overview of results from previously granted resources* Write a short description of recent work done on CSC computers.
For example:
"After the last CPU time application, we have managed to compute
properties of certain doped silicon systems with good accuracy
using the SINGER code."
* Please list the publications your project has produced within the past year,
and where the use of CSC's services has been mentioned. You
may list the latest articles, presentations, posters, patents and
theses. For
example, "The results are presented in:
Y. Simulator, M. Gradslave, and A. Lehrstuhl, Ab Initio Calculations of
Oxygen Clustering in Silicon Systems, Phys. Rew. Lett. 1000 (2015)
098765; M. Gradslave and Y. Simulator, Aggregation Kinetics of Oxygen
in Silicon, http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.1234." For your publications please write e.g. "We acknowledge CSC – IT Center for Science Ltd. for the allocation of computational resources."
Program codes, methods and research objectives* A
short description of the planned usage of the applied resources,
including the program codes you use.
For example:
"We are starting to use and further develop the FIESTA code, which will
be run on the Louhi machine. FIESTA is DFT based on Linear Combination
of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO). An order N
algorithm is implemented in the code, which enables ab initio
simulations
of very large systems (several thousand atoms).
As the first physical system to be studied with the code, we plan
to..."
Other requests For example: - If
the compute resources of your project are almost finished, you may ask
for a pre-grant to continue your computing until the next meeting of
the CSC Resource Allocation Group.
- You can request access to additional computers of CSC.
- You can ask for more disk space, either for individual named users or
project-wide common space. You can monitor your own disk usage with the
Unix command quota -v. Requests like these can also be sent anytime to usermgr at csc.fi. - If you apply for a larger database size for your project's MySQL databases, please specify the new database size here (in gigabytes).
Feedback All feedback is greatly appreciated. The CSC Resource Allocation Group will handle any requests.
