Research Computing providing a webinar on writing an allocation proposal on Wednesday, Dec 1 at 2PM. |
Effective October 1, 2020, there is no charge to use Lehigh's HPC resources - Sol and Hawk. Instead, Faculty are required to submit an allocation proposal that will be reviewed by a faculty driven Research Computing Allocation Review Committee (RCARC). The RCARC has representation from all five Colleges to ensure each College is involved in the decision making process to distribute HPC resources.

Accounts
Lehigh Faculty, research staff and students can request an account on Sol/Hawk. All account requests by staff and students need to be sponsored by a Lehigh Faculty and be associated with an active allocation. A Lehigh faculty with no active allocation, can request an account for themselves and members of their group while requesting an allocation as described below. Accounts that do not have an active allocation for 6 months will be disabled.

All new users will be added to the HPC Mailing list. It is strongly recommended that you stay subscribed. The HPC mailing list is the preferred method of communication for announcements, status updates and education, outreach and training activities. |

Beginning June 1, 2022, all allocation requests that are sponsored research projects will undergo review by the Office of Research Integrity (ORI). ORI will contact PIs and users for projects that have a compliance components with additional information. All allocation requests are required to provide account numbers for ORI to ensure a quick compliance review. The allocation committee will review and make a decision on your request but the allocation will not be activated unless ORI has provided information of completed compliance training. Please make sure that you include the full legal name of everyone who will be using Sol and Hawk in the allocation request form. |

Allocations
An allocation is a block of computing time measured in core-hours or service units or SUs (number of processing cores requested times the amount of wall-clock time used in hours). There is no charge to using Sol/Hawk resources. However, users need to have an allocation to charge simulation time. There are different types of allocation depending on amount of SUs and storage.
...
Allocation Type | Max SUs/PI | TB/PI | Allocation Length | Approval Authority | Request Window | Approval Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Trial | 10K | 1 | 6 months | HPC | Rolling | 2-3 Business days |
StartUp | 25K | 1 | 1 year | One RCARC member | Rolling | Monthly |
StartUp Renewals | 10K/25K | 1 | 12 months | Two RCARC members | Rolling | Monthly |
Research & Storage Only | 300K | 1-5 | 1 year | RCARC Committee | May 15 1 - June 15May 31 | Start of next allocation cycle (i.e. Jul 1 or Jan 1)Jan 1) |

The Approval Timeline above indicates the timeline that the allocation committee is committed to satisfy. Compliance review by the Office of Research Integrity and hence allocation activation may take longer - either due to insufficient information provided and length of time taken to complete required ORI training. For research allocation requests, all requests received by May 31 or Nov 30 will be reviewed by the committee. The request window has been moved up 15 days to provide enough time for ORI review. |
Eligibility
Only Full Time Lehigh faculty are eligible to be a PI on an allocation. Other users such as research staff including postdocs, graduate, and undergraduate students need to be associated with a Lehigh Faculty allocation. A user can be a member of multiple allocations, either the same faculty or different.

Please read information below prior to requesting allocations Faculty may ask their students or postdocs to apply for an allocation on their behalf. However, all review and approval communications will be with the Faculty whose name and email address must appear in the field provided. |
| Info |

If your project is subject to export control laws, please make sure that your proposal does not contain information that is subject to export control. The committee only needs to know about the computation you plan on executing, how much computing time you need and how you arrived at this number. |
Trial
Trial Allocations are geared towards first time HPC faculty who want to learn more about the capabilities of Sol/Hawk before requesting a startup or research allocation. Each allocation request will provide a maximum 10K SUs with a 6 month validity.
...
Requirements: Faculty requesting a StartUp Allocation should provide a short abstract (min 500 words, 1 page max) with the description of the work they wish to accomplish and the amount of computing time requested.
| Info | ||

Members of the allocation committee may not be experts in your field of research. Please focus on the computational aspects rather than technical aspects of the work you wish to accomplish. This will allow the committee to understand your computational needs. Technical details should be written for an audience with broad expertise in computation-based research, but little to no expertise in your specific field of study. Only include sufficient technical details to aid the allocation committee in understanding how the allocation requested meets your computational needs. |
Request Window: StartUp Allocations can be requested any time during the year and will be approved within 3-4 weeks of submission (completed).
