As a resource provider in the National Science Foundation (NSF) TeraGrid project (www.teragrid.org), TACC
provides allocations to the national research community on its compute, visualization and storage systems.
Through a local allocation process, UT researchers can acquire up to 500,000 SUs (Service Unit = 1cpu wall-clock
hr) on Ranger and Lonestar (and up to 1,000,000 SUs with special considerations). Moreover, UT researchers can
apply for TeraGrid allocations much larger than 1,000,000 SUs. Besides the Lonestar, Ranger and Spur systems,
other compute, visualization and data systems are available at 10 other TeraGrid resource provider sites (see
www.teragrid.org/userinfo/hardware/resources.php).
The TeraGrid is now accepting Research Allocation Requests for the allocation period, April 1, 2009 to March 31,
2010. Submissions are being accepted from Dec. 15, 2008 until Jan. 15, 2009. Please submit your allocation request
through the POPS URL:

Meetings (LRAC/MRAC). Now a single submission form is used, and a single meeting, now called the TeraGrid
Resource Allocations Committee (T-RAC), reviews all Research Allocation Requests (excluding
Startup/Education/Staff).
