Dear group,
We just got allocated 20,000 hours in the supercomputer: mainly for the fuel
cell project, but also for our research in case that "Clandestino" is not
good enough.
I would need for everybody that is interested in creating an account (I
expect at least Sule and Laura to get one, of course) to fill out the form
below with the PI (me) and repository name (m702). Please give them to me
next week (I will be back from Thursday on) so we can fax them to NERSC.
The faster we use this startup award, the better (paradoxically) so they can
upgrade us to a "real" supercomputer account with hundreds of thousands of
hours rather than 20,000.
Cheers,
Alan

Subject: NERSC 2007 Startup Allocation Award
To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu
Dear Alan Aspuru-Guzik,
NERSC is pleased to announce that you have received an Allocation Year 2007
Startup award for your ERCAP request 82088, titled: "Computational study of
hydrogen transport in polymer electrolyte membranes embedded in
nanopores.". AY 2007 runs from January 9, 2007 through January 7, 2008.
Your MPP award is: 20,000 SP hours for repository m702
Your HPSS award is: 3,000 SRUs for repository m702
Startup awards are valid for up to 18 months (although they need to be
renewed for a new allocation year), after which time you must apply for a
DOE production award. If you anticipate needing large amounts of time and
are not currently funded by the Office of Science you should consider
applying; see their Grants and Contracts website at:
http://www.sc.doe.gov/production/grants/grants.html
To add new users to your repository click the "My Stuff" menu in NIM's top
left main menu and select "Add/Revive User". More info on NIM is below.
Please acknowledge NERSC in your publications of work resulting from the use
of NERSC resources:
"This research used resources of the National Energy Research Scientific
Computing Center, which is supported by the Office of Science of the U.S.
Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231."
Information related to NERSC users, accounts, and allocations is available
in the NERSC Information Management (NIM) system. Please read the PI Guide
to NIM:
http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/nim/users_manual/forpis.php
You access NIM at
http://nim.nersc.gov using your NERSC login name and NIM
password (as you did to make your allocation request).
Note that users new to NERSC are required to sign and return the Computer
Use Policies form. No user account can be activated until this is
done. The form is at:
http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/usage.pdf
Also note that it is against NERSC policy to share usernames and passwords;
each user must have her or his own user account. See:
http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/owners.php
If your permanent (home directory) space requirements are over 5
gigabytes your project should apply for a project directory; see:
http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/resources/NGF/
We rely on our website:
http://www.nersc.gov/ for informing NERSC users of
changes that occur as well as for general NERSC documentation.
We also use email lists to inform users of changes. Some lists are created
automatically for all active users; the most important communications are
sent to these lists. We encourage you to join the NERSC Users Group email
list, nug. See:
http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/services/email-lists.php
We look forward to working with you. If you have any questions, please
contact the NERSC consultants via email (consult(a)nersc.gov) or telephone
(1-800-66NERSC menu option 3, 1-510-486-8611).
Sincerely,
--
