1. How do I get an allocation?
2. When are proposals due?
3. When can I get a new allocation?
4. What should I do if my allocation runs out?
5. How should I acknowledge CHPC for computer time?
6. What if a machine goes down while I'm running a job? Does the time that the job ran prior to termination count toward my allocation?

Research groups requiring more than default units a quarter and/or special resources such as dedicated system time, large memory space, or extraordinarily large files, will request these resources by submitting an allocation form to the Director of CHPC. Requests may be for up to 4 quarters at a time and will be due the first day of December, March, June, and September for allocations starting the following quarter. The request must be made by the principal investigator of the project, who must be a faculty member.

Proposals are due once every four quarters on June 1, September 1, December 1, and March 1. Research groups are only required to write one proposal per year.

Allocations are renewed one month after the proposal is due, so July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1.

The first thing to do is to check with your PI to see if he/she has SU available and is willing to transfer the units to your account. To transfer the units the PI must send e-mail to (issues@chpc.utah.edu) or call the CHPC help desk at (801) 581-4429.

Remember that even though you are our of service units, your jobs will still run, but at a much lower priority.

Please see the CHPC Policy: Acknowledging CHPC.
