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 - June 15 | Start of next allocation cycle (i.e. Jul 1 or Jan 1) |
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.

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.

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).
