Dear NERSC Users, If you have any questions about filling out your ERCAP request, please join us for ERCAP office hours today, starting now and going until noon (Pacific time) and in the afternoon from 1-4 pm (Pacific time). *ERCAP requests are due at 5 pm (Pacific) today!* There has been some confusion about the new unit of currency (normalized to the Perlmutter CPU node hour) for the new allocation year. A simple way to convert is to simply divide this year’s usage by 400. If you requested one million NERSC hours this year (AY2021), this translates to 2,500 node hours next year. Therefore we expect most (but not all) CPU requests would not exceed 20,000 node hours, and our largest requestors might ask for 250,000 node hours or so. GPU node hour requests should be similarly small. The 2022 Call for ERCAP Proposals <https://www.nersc.gov/users/accounts/allocations/2022-call-for-proposals-to-use-nersc-resources/> includes a section about total hours available in AY 2022, broken down by program; please review this to ensure that your request is appropriately sized. *If your request is already submitted and you realize that you used the wrong currency,* please join the office hours or send an email to allocations@nersc.gov with the ERCAP request number and we can make a correction for you or return the request to you to be revised. To join the office hours, please find the Zoom coordinates at: https://www.nersc.gov/users/accounts/allocations/2022-call-for-proposals-to-use-nersc-resources/ercap-office-hours/ (login required).
