| # Request PATh Facility Credits | ||
|
|
||
| All compute time on the PATh Facility is charged using a credit system. | ||
| All compute time on the PATh Facility is charged using a credit system. | ||
|
|
||
| If you have not already applied for a credit allocation at the time of requesting | ||
| an account, PATh staff can provide a small startup allocation for initial testing. | ||
| Credits are granted from the NSF and associated with the active project. | ||
| This guide details the process and templates available to request | ||
| credits. | ||
|
|
||
| After start up testing, credits | ||
| are granted from the NSF via the relevant program officer. This guide | ||
| details the process and templates available to request credits. | ||
| PATh staff can provide a small startup allocation at any time for | ||
| initial testing before a full credit request. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Requirements | ||
|
|
||
| The opportunity to use PATh Facility resources is available to all PIs submitting, or having submitted, proposals to the | ||
| following Programs as per the [Dear Colleagues Letter][dear-colleague]. | ||
| The opportunity to use PATh Facility resources is available to all PIs | ||
| submitting, or having submitted, proposals to the programs listed below: | ||
| [Program Officers](#program-officers) | ||
|
|
||
| ## How to Apply | ||
|
|
||
| The [Dear Colleague Letter][dear-colleague] | ||
| describes the request process. Researchers are asked to draft a credit request, | ||
| and do one of the following: | ||
| * **New Proposals:** As documented in the [PAPPG 24-1, Ch 2, section E.7](https://new.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1/ch-2-proposal-preparation#ch2E7), | ||
| projects can request credits as part of the award process. Include the | ||
| request for HTC resources as a Supplementary Document attached to the | ||
| proposal (as described in the original DCL NSF 22-051). | ||
|
|
||
| - **New Proposals:** Include the request for HTC resources as a Supplementary Document. | ||
| - **Existing Awards:** Contact the NSF cognizant program officer of their project by e-mail, with the description of their HTC resource request. Please include "HTCAccess" and the award number for the funded project in the e-mail subject line. | ||
| * **Existing Awards:** Email the NSF cognizant program officer of their | ||
| project, and copy [email protected], with the description of | ||
| their HTC resource request. Please include "HTCAccess" and the award | ||
| number for the funded project in the e-mail subject line. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Sample Credit Request | ||
|
|
||
| The credit request is described in the [Dear Colleague letter][dear-colleague] and should include: | ||
| The credit request should include: | ||
|
|
||
| > (1) the anticipated total HTC resources required, with yearly breakdown; and (2) a technical description and justification for the request. The latter should include information regarding (a) the expected number of self-contained tasks per ensemble ‒ note that each task can be packaged into one or more batch job(s); (b) the resource requirements for each task type in the ensemble ‒ for example, requirements for cores, memory, wall-time, and scratch space; (c) the expected number of ensembles; (d) the expected input and output data requirements for each task type; and (e) the expected number and size of shared input files within an ensemble – expected number of times each file is read per ensemble. | ||

| If you are not sure how many credits to request for your allocation, please | ||
| do one or more of the following: | ||
|
|
||
| - Request an account and startup allocation on the PATh Facility to run test jobs and determine resource needs and possible scale: [Getting Started](../getting-started/) | ||
| - Use the credit guide and worksheet linked below: [PATh Facility Credit Guide](#path-facility-credit-guide) | ||
| - Contact the PATh Facility team at [email protected] | ||
