In order to use the NERSC facilities you need
access to an allocation of computional or storage resources as a member of a repository
and a user account with an associated user login name.
How to complete and submit applications for allocations of
resources via the NERSC ERCAP process.
Startup awards are available for new projects that wish to investigate using NERSC
resources, or who wish to port or develop new codes. A request for a Startup project
account
may be made at any time during the year, and decisions for Startup requests are made by
NERSC within one to three weeks after applying. See Applying for Your First NERSC
Allocation.
The Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment
(INCITE) program provides computing resources and consulting support for a small number of computationally intensive large-scale research projects.
Use of the NERSC computational machines and HPSS (mass storage) is charged
against repository allocations.
Each computational machine is charged at a different rate.

How users and project managers can manage both user accounts
and project accounts (repositories).
NERSC uses the NERSC Information Management (NIM) system to manage user information, account creation, usage reporting, and the allocations process.
How to get a new password, what to do if you forget your password, and
policies related to NERSC passwords.
NERSC has policies and procedures that
are intended to facilitate efficient and
secure use of NERSC's shared resources.
A list of projects that received allocation awards for the current and past
fiscal years.
