Hi Ray,

300k per term sounds fine. I need about 200k for a calibration run and 200k for a final simulation in the near future. I can work with 300k this term by doing a shorter calibration run.

On a different note, we'd like to transfer some data (from my account) to hard drives (to ship to a colleague), would it be possible for you to transfer this data if we supplied you with the drives? or maybe if you could expand the access to Mark, so he can copy the files?

Thanks,

Shivanesh

Dear Shivanesh,

The Allocations Committee may request that you run exclusively on Fusion because Blues is quite full.

One more question… Are you requesting 300,000 more core hours for the 3rd quarter (April-June), plus 300,000 core hours for the 4th quarter (July-Sept.)? That is how we would normally grant it.

Regards,

Ray

Hi Mark,

Either system is fine. But doesn't the allocation work on both systems?

Ray,

Shivanesh is working remotely.

Shivanesh,

Does it matter whether you use blues or fusion?

Dear Mark,

Could you run this work on either Blues or Fusion? We have more availability on Fusion this semester.

Regards,

Ray
