Dear LCRC Allocations Committee, Michael Borland's ApsRenewalLattice project ran out off time today, yet the plan has been to continue his 30-node reservation throughout FY2015. So LCRC needed to take action right away, and we hope you will agree with what we propose/did. We added 1M core-hours to his allocation at Michael's request so his work would not be interrupted. Of that, 564K core hours are needed to cover the 30-node reservation until Sept. 30.

From time to time Michael sees that Blues is largely empty and puts in extra jobs. From our perspective he has been careful and not interfered with other work. So the other 436K is for such contingencies. It may or may not be used, depending on what everyone else does between now and September 30th. The APS Upgrade project is coming up to their Critical Decision 1 (CD-1) review, so time short for them.

If you have issues, please comment. This action can be revised. We try to help everyone be productive with the available resources.
