Do you teach a university class? Consider applying for a classroom allocation on Derecho.
As part of NCAR’s mission to support atmospheric science and education, faculty and instructors at any two- or four-year U.S. institution can use NCAR HPC and analysis resources in their courses in Earth systems science and related areas.
Classroom allocations can also be used for shorter-term training courses and workshops aimed at the university community with the goal of developing a skilled workforce relevant to all aspects of NCAR’s mission. “Special projects” or honors thesis courses under the guidance of a faculty member are eligible.
Individual accounts are provided to all students and the instructor(s), so be sure to allow at least a week for setting up accounts. Very large classes may require more setup time. NCAR can provide consulting assistance to the instructors.
Classroom allocation requests can be submitted at any time and decisions are generally made within a few days.
