Allocations

ALCF resources are primarily used for DOE INCITE awarded projects. Additional information on the INCITE program can be found at: http://hpc.science.doe.gov/. Projects with INCITE awards will be contacted directly by the ALCF staff with information on creating accounts.

Non-INCITE projects may be able to obtain allocations from the Director's Discretionary Allocation process. See the Discretionary Allocations page for more information.

For information on Allocation Management and how charges are incurred please refer to the Allocation Management page.

All computing carried out on ALCF Blue Gene/P systems are associated with a BG/P "account." This account is used to log onto the login servers and run jobs on the BG/P system. If someone has a BG/P account, then they have a login name that is recorded in the BG/P user database.
