Grid5000:SpecialUsage

From Grid5000
Jump to navigation Jump to search


This page gives the procedure to ask for a special usage permission, e.g. to use more resources than what is allowed in the Grid'5000 usage policy.

Asking for special permission

In order to make a request for a special usage permission, please send an email to the Grid'5000 executive committee. Your request should include:

  • your affiliation (laboratory, team, and who is your advisor if you are a student)
  • a description of the motivations and the expected scientific impact of your experiments (10-20 lines)
  • detailed information about what you are asking for in terms of resources:
    • number of nodes
    • sites/clusters
    • date/time of the reservation
    • duration of the reservation
  • explanation about why this work is not doable under the Grid'5000 usage policy (that is, which rules are a problem for this work, and why). (5-10 lines)

Please allow at least two full business days to give us time to evaluate your request. Also, as a general policy, we will not cancel other users' reservations, which is another reason for making such exceptional requests in advance.
