Sum rule for total maximum allocation¶

This rule applies to compute resources in the Large, Medium, and Small NAISS calls. NAISS defines upper limits that determine the maximum allocation that can be requested per resource. These limits apply both to individual resources and to the total amount of compute resources requested across all systems.

Under the sum rule, the combined amount requested across all compute resources may not exceed 100% of the sum of the upper limits.

For example:

• You may request 80% of the upper limits on one compute resource and 20% on another, for a total of 100%.
• You may request 100% of the upper limits on a single compute resource and 0% on all others.

Requests exceeding a combined total of 100% will not be granted.

There are no sum rule for storage resources.
