Requesting Access to NCAR Supercomputers

See the NCAR CISL’s User Documentation for NSF NCAR HPC for details, and for graduate students, postdocs, and their advisors to request access.

A request for 50,000 core hours or less is fairly simple. We recommend requesting a small number (e.g., 1000 core hours). Once you receive access, do some testing of the model configuration (timing, processor counts, amount of data created that needs to be stored). Scale that up by the intended full size of the test, number of scenarios, etc. THEN send in that second value to CISL with the detailed explanation of resource requirements.
