Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: mgrippo (Mark Grippo) Project: MHK Title: Hydrodynamic model development for Cobscook Bay Description: The behavioral model requires the collection of fish position data and the simulation of flow during the period for which the fish data were collected. The fish position data were collected during two, 72 hr periods in August 2014. Our goal for FY15 is to simulate water flow during these two periods. Based on our previous year of simulations using the Blues cluster, we estimate that we will need 450k core-hours for Q1 and Q2 to complete the necessary simulations. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Additional hours are needed to complete a final set of calibration runs for our hydrodynamic model. Based on previous runs, it costs 200k core hours for the last 7 days of runs we need. It will take 1 run to calibrate the run and another run to finish the simulation with proper calibration. Therefore, at minimum we would like to have 400K core hours, and 600k would be ideal as a precaution in case we need an additional run. Thank you.
