To use 150K hours by 3/31, one would need to average 11 nodes 24x7. Looking at the usage of Fusion, the time is available. So I recommend that we approve.

Dear Dr. Bair,

We need to run quite a few expensive simulations involving full engine geometry, complex engine cylinder head along with detailed combustion analysis. After discussion with our funding agency and within our simulation group we estimated that we would need 150 k core hours to finish the cases and submit results by end of March.

So far we have been mainly doing sector (part of the engine geometry) for our numerical investigation. As a result future simulation with full engine geometry will be comparatively more resource hungry. The required additional core hours will facilitate us to accomplish our goals in a timely manner.

Thanks and regards,

Kaushik

Dear Saha,

The current allocation quarter ends on March 31st, and your project will receive more time on April 1st. Between now and March 31st, how much time is needed?

Best regards,

Ray

Hi,

This is Kaushik Saha, a postdoc working at Energy Systems Division of ANL. My project Denso_simulations has approximately 14841 core hours left. Very soon I will run out of core hours. We have a deadline by the end of March 2015. We are planning to run full engine geometry simulations along with extensive combustion analysis on the Fusion cluster. This would require considerable amount of core hours.

At this stage we urgently require additional 150 k core hours for the Denso_simulations project. If these core hours can be granted at earliest convenience, that would facilitate us to achieve our goals for the project with Denso.

Thanks and regards,
