Applying for Your First NERSC AllocationNERSC uses the ERCAP (Energy Research Computing Allocations Process) system to manage allocation requests. ERCAP is part of the NIM (NERSC Information Management) web interface (more about this below). 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. A prospective Principal Investigator (or a designated "PI Proxy" who can submit an allocation request on behalf of a PI) needs to fill out an online form and fax in to NERSC a Computer Policy Form. When these two actions are completed you will receive a NERSC login name and password, which will allow you to access NIM and the ERCAP allocations request form. If you already have a NERSC login name and wish to become a new PI, you need only fill out an ERCAP allocation request form.
