Apply for resources


As a researcher or Ph.D. student at a Danish university, you can apply for resources on the national HPC facilities. All researchers at Aarhus University have 1000 credits for Interactive HPC, which is received as a UCloud login bonus. Additional resources require application via the procedures described below.

Apply for HPC resources

You can apply for resources via the Aarhus University Front Office continuously and twice each year via specific calls from the National Resource Committee. You can apply for HPC resources for both small and large projects. The two kinds of projects each have their own application process.  

Small projects

A small project (or a ”sandbox project”) on DeiC Interactive HPC is defined as a project that demands less than: 1.000 CPU-core-hours, 100 GPU-hours, 1 TB data or 1.000 DKK .

You can apply for resources for small projects continuously via AU Front Office.  AU Front Office will handle your application and return with a response within 1-2 weeks.

See procedure for access to HPC resources.

Large projects 

Large projects are projects demanding more than the limit stated above. You can apply for resources for large projects via the annual H1 and H2 calls published by DeiC. 

See procedure for access to HPC resources.
