Using a resource allocation: Difference between revisions

You will be notified shortly before the new RAC year of the results of your application. The RAC year typically begins the first week of April, so you should expect notification sometime in March. You and your sponsored users can begin to use the awarded resources at the beginning of the RAC year.  

In general, there are two main types to RAPs:

*Default RAP: A default RAP is automatically created when a PI role is activated. Default and Rapid Access Service quotas for storage and cloud resources are managed via this default RAP. The Default RAP allows PIs and sponsored users to make opportunistic use of compute resources with the default (that is, the lowest) priority. The default RAPI typically takes the form <code>abc-123-aa</code> and has an associated group name that follows the convention <code>def-profname.</code>

*RAC RAP: This RAP is created when the PI receives an award through the Resource Allocation Competition. The RAC RAPI typically takes the form <code>abc-123-ab</code>, with an associated group name that follows the convention <code>rrg-profname</code> or <code>rpp-profname</code> for HPC resources, or <code>cpp-profname</code> or <code>crg-profname</code> for Cloud resources.

You can find RAPIs and their corresponding group names and allocations by visiting the [https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/ Account Details] page of the CCDB site.
