1. Can I use UCloud without applying for a grant?

Yes. You have access to a personal “My Workspace” for testing and experimentation.

This workspace includes:

• 2,000 CPU hours
• 50 GB of storage

The compute resources will reset at the end of May each year.

2. Who is eligible to apply for UCloud resource grants?

If you are employed, you must clearly state your institutional affiliation.

If you are applying for a Bachelor’s (BA) or Master’s (MA) thesis project, your supervisor must apply for the application.

3. What is the maximum allocation period?

You can receive an allocation for a maximum period of six (6) months according to HPC Forum policy.

If you require a longer period, you must submit an extension request.

4. What is the maximum storage allocation per Tier-1 project?

You can receive a maximum storage allocation of 150 GB per Tier 1 project.

If you require more than 150 GB, you must:

• Apply to the HPC Forum (deicfrontoffice@au.dk)

5. Are there limits to how many compute resources I can request?

Yes. You must ensure that the requested amount complies with your project’s scope and reflects its computational needs.

6. How do I add an external collaborator to my project?

You can add collaborators without affiliation to a Danish university by submiting a ticket by contacting Back Office.

1. In the ticket include the following information:
   • Name
   • Official institutional affiliation
   • Institutional email
   • Project name
   • Project PI
2. The collaborator will be contacted by Back Office to validate their identity (e.g., passport verification).

7. Is there a license server available at AU for commercial apps?

No. There is currently no license server available at AU.

If you require a license, you must arrange it with Faculty IT or AU IT and then create a ticket to Back Office to enable access to the server on UCloud.
