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.

Beginning June 1, 2022, all allocation requests that are for 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. |

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 or the 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. |

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).

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, amount of computing time or storage you need and how you arrived at this amount. |
Request Window: StartUp Allocations can be requested any time during the year and will be approved within 3-4 weeks of submission (completed).
Allocation Review: StartUp Allocations will be reviewed by the RCARC. Any RCARC member can review and approve StartUp requests.

- Course Number, Workshop Title, Summer Research Program Name
- Brief description on how resources will be used.
- Approximate number of users in the program.
- If number of users is greater than 25, consider discussing with A. Pacheco the Ryan Bradley the appropriateness of Lehigh Resources vs XSEDE (or cloud computing).
- List of applications to be used.

Research Allocations are allocation requests larger than StartUp (>25K) with a maximum 300K allocation per Faculty. A faculty can have multiple research allocations corresponding to multiple research projects. The total active SUs across all such projects including startup allocations should not exceed 300K at any time.
For example : John Doe has 4 existing projects with 30K, 40K, 80K, and 100K respectively for a total allocation of 250K SUs. John can be approved for an allocation provided the request is 50K SUs or less. Jane Doe who has similar projects but the smallest one expires at the end of the allocation cycle in 30 days can request a renewal with a maximum of 80K SUs. Jane’s total allocation until the end of the current cycle will be 250K and a total of 300K when the next cycle begins if the request is approved.
Active allocation is defined as an allocation that has not reached its end date. An expended allocation is active before its end date, it just cannot be used to charge computing time.computing time.

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, amount of computing time or storage you need and how you arrived at this amount. |
Requirement: A faculty requesting a research allocation needs to submit a detailed research proposal. The proposal should contain the following -
...
The 1TB space provided here is only valid while you have an active allocation. If you do not have an active allocation, your data will be deleted freeing space that can be provisioned to other PI's with active allocations. Purchased Ceph space has the 5 year life and does not require an active allocation.

RCARC will allocate up to 40TB (20TB each allocation cycle) as part of the research allocation request.
- HPC PIs can combine their computing and storage requests in a single proposal. Storage approved by RCARC will be provided as Ceph project spaces at /share/ceph/{project_name}.
- Non HPC PIs, the space will appear as an additional folder when you mount R Drive.
This space cannot be combined with the free 1TB per HPC PI, R Drive or Ceph spaces purchased at $375/TB for 5 years. HPC does not backup Ceph (R Drive is a Ceph project) nor do we provide backup services. Faculty are responsible for backing up their data and archiving it for later use.
