Date: 11 January 2022 
Objective: New type of access at GENCI   
Addressed to: Holders of Regular Access projects

Hello,  

Following the success of Dynamic Access which was initially destined for the Artificial Intelligence 
community using Jean Zay at IDRIS, we have enlarged this type of access to include all the Thematic 
Committees and all the machines of the three national centres (CINES, IDRIS et TGCC).  

Beginning on 10 January 2022, regardless of your scientific domaine, it will be possible for you to 
apply for Dynamic Access (for requests ≤ 50 kh GPU / 500 kh CPU) at any time via a single form on eDARI,
 or for Regular Access for larger requests. 

Important points: 

- Depending on the volume of resources requested, your file will be either Dynamic Access or Regular Access. 
- It is no longer possible to submit a Preparatory Access request; from now on, this functionality is 
included in Dynamic Access. 
- The allocation periods for Regular Access projects remain the same: a semi-annual allocation in May and
 November of each year with the possibility of requesting complementary hours. The next call for regular 
access projects for the A12 allocation and the complementary A11 hours requests is open until 10 a.m. on 
Friday, 14 February. 

For this call: 
- Nearly a billion computing hours are available to academic and industrial researchers, and free of charge,
 to be used from beginning-May 2022 to end-April 2023 for A12, and nearly 200 million computing hours from
 beginning-May 2022 to end-October 2022 for complementary A11. Sizeable projects are also regularly accepted
 in function of the resources available. 
- The A12 allocation is accessible to new projects, to renewed projects from the A10 allocation, and to
 projects from previous allocations which were not yet renewed. 
- Projects of the A11 allocation have the possibility of requesting complementary hours midway through the
 allocation period; these hours can be used during the last 6 months. 

You can find all the necessary information and make your request for resources on the site www.edari.fr .

We remain at your disposal for any further information (acces@genci.fr).   

Best regards,  
GENCI and the three national computing centres
