Our annual Resource Allocation Competition (RAC) is open for submissions and closes November 7, 2023.
This peer-reviewed application process provides priority access to storage, compute and cloud resources beyond what can be obtained via the Rapid Access Service (RAS) to Canadian researchers from all disciplines.
Important:
- The minimum amount of resources required to apply for RAC have changed. Please carefully read the RAC Competition Guide for more details.
- The resources available via the RAS will also change on April 1, 2024
- Significant changes impacting GPU requests, allocations and charging will be implemented starting April 1, 2024. If you are planning to request GPU resources, please attend one of the GPU information sessions in October.
If you are interested in submitting a RAC application, we encourage you to attend the following information sessions:
