Two major allocation processes exist for IRIS:
1. Application for Small Activities / Seedcorn time
The purpose of this scheme is to provide a light-touch review process for modest allocations of Iris computing time and/or storage for Activities in the following categories:
- Small activities requiring some 10s to 100s of cores for a short time, whether peer reviewed or not;
- Seedcorn projects;
- Activities starting in year (out of RSAP cycle) who need to get going and then submit full RSAP docs next year;
- and possibly other categories as arise from time to time.
These all require relatively modest resource, generally for a limited time in the first instance.
Further detail can be found in the small activity allocation document package in the Document Library
