Requesting Allocations
Researchers may submit allocation requests at XRAS-Submit
Note that as a PI or project owner on Radiant you will be billed on a monthly basis for your allocation and information about your campus account will be required to setup your project. All new project requests are currently reviewed weekly and generally approved or denied within one week of submission. If you have questions about the submission process please submit a ticket to the NCSA help desk (help@ncsa.illinios.edu).
The Submission Process
What Happens When Your Request Is Approved
Project Life Cycle
Allocated projects that have been granted resources on Radiant may use those resources, in accordance with the Radiant terms of use, for the period of their allocation. Allocations will normally be made for 12 months and will not automatically renew. Projects may request renewals within 90 days of the end of their allocation using the XRAS submission tool. Allocations that are not renewed will have a 5 day grace period after the allocation end date, to close out their work, after which all running instances will be terminated. All project data will be removed from the system 30 days after the end of the project allocation. Projects may request to have NCSA transition Radiant data to other NCSA storage resources, if they would like to continue storing data but no longer require Radiant compute resources.
