How to apply for SNAC resources

SNAC provides a uniform allocation system for SNIC resources to the Swedish research community.
The applicant must be a senior scientist in Swedish academia, at least at the level of assistant professor (forskarassistent).

For further details about the SNAC allocation policy, go here.

• Small level requests (maximum 5 000 core hours/month/resource; for Mozart the upper limit is 250 core hours/month)
  Applications for small allocations are handled locally at the SNIC centres. This category is for small projects and for new groups that want to gain experience of using HPC-systems.
   

• Medium level requests (maximum 80 000 core hours/month/resource)
  Applications for medium level allocations can be submitted at any time to any of the SNIC centres via a unified web form.
  The evaluation is performed locally and assesses the feasibility of using the requested resources.

  For special resources (e.g. Mozart at NSC) the above limits may not apply. Please, read further instructions for each category.

• Large level requests (minimum 80 000 core hours/month for at least one resource; minor applications for supplementary resources can be included)
  Calls for applications for large level allocations are issued twice a year by SNAC, and SNAC also evaluates the applications and decides on the allocations. The evaluation is based on scientific merit, need for the resources, feasibility of efficient use of the requested resources, and impact.

  For special resources the above limits may not apply. Please, read further instructions for each category.

  Please note that if a large level application is granted time, you can not submit additional medium level requests.
