Lehigh’s investment in Sol (Hotel SUs) provides 1.4M SUs will be added to the above pool of Hawk resources to top off Lehigh HPC to 4.5M SUs and the Provost’s DF to 1M. The remaining will be combined with HPC’s share from the PI Team allocation to create a new Director’s Discretionary Fund.

Director’s Discretionary Fund (DDF)

...

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. 

...

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.

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.
