LCRC, Lets reinstate HEIGHTS-3D with 45K for the first half. Ray On 2/10/11 1:08 PM, "Michael Minkoff" <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Ray, I'm forwarding email from Tatyana Sizyuk to get your comment. At the last LCRC Allocations Meeting we determined that HEIGHTS-3D did not have a PI that was at least and STA and you'll see our recommendations in the mail at the end of the forwarded message. We gave them 75K of their 300K request at the time. As you'll see from Tatyana's response to my earlier email they would like the remainder of the first half allocation. Since they asked for 300K and we reduced requests by 20% (thus 240K), they should get 120K-75K=45K for the "remainder" of the first half. Alternatively we can have them wait for the allocation meeting (next month), however I believe my email indicated the promise they would get the additional time if they did the tasks we asked for (which they indicate they have).
Let me know your thoughts. Regards, -Mike

Dear Mike, We performed all of your suggestions: 1. We submitted our report several months ago, 2. I added Ahmed as PI of our project. Could you please add for us 300K hrs allocation on Fusion? We have now in reserve only 15K hrs. Thank you in advance Tatyana Sizyuk

Hi Tatyana,
Thank you for your email. I spoke with Ahmed earlier this morning as one fundamental item is that we need an ANL person as (at least) the co-PI. Below are responses to your items, respectively.
1. I realize you requested 300K hrs. However the FUSION machine is oversubscribed by 20% and the committee, in order to be fair, reduced all requests by 20% (if the POC, me in this case, recommended that the request was totally justified). The 75K is an interim allocation until these items were resolved so you'll have something to start the FY with. However I recommended 240K once we get Ahmed on as a co-PI and the report is received.
2. I am copying Ray Bair who is the director of the LCRC to let you know if the report was received. My understanding from Ahmed was that you needed to create a hi-res image for the submission.
3. As I mentioned, it is necessary that Ahmed be a co-PI. I have also suggested you be a co-PI as well. We need at least one investigator be an ANL staff (or STA) in order to justify the use of ANL facilities (e.g. FUSION). You can request [email protected] address this issue as it is essential that Ahmed has an account for the reasons mentioned above. I have copied [email protected] to deal with this.

Dear Mike, We received the following message about allocation for our project:
You have received this mail because you are the PI of the following project on the LCRC cluster: Project Name: HEIGHTS-3D Your project has been approved for an additional allocation: Allocation: 75000 hours
and I have several questions:
1. We asked to allocate 300,000 hours. We will have extensive parallel calculations in FY2011 and will need this time. Last year we upgraded our codes and therefore did not use all allocated hours. 2. I tried to submit Fusion report yesterday but I'm not sure that this process was completed successfully - I did not get any confirmation. Therefore I attached our report now. 3. There are some problems with Ahmed's userid in LCRC and now HEIGHTS-3D project has only one user - tsizyuk.
Could you, help, please, to solve these problems or to answer, please, these questions?
Thank you Tatyana Sizyuk
