<div dir="ltr">Hello Dave,<div><br></div><div>It really depends on how much we can get resources from our member institutes to come forward. So far I have the following estimates of what we might reasonably expect over the coming year from OSG.</div><div><ol><li>UConn - 10M core hours</li><li>FSU - 5M core hours (so far, more on the horizon)</li><li>Northwestern - 2M core hours</li><li>Regina - 2M core hours (so far, maybe more can be found)</li><li>Indiana - 4M core hours</li><li>Florida International - 2M core hours</li><li>opportunistic cycles - 10M core hours (my estimate, based on experience so far)</li></ol><div>I know CMU has significant resources to offer, but so far they have not given my a number. This comes to 35M core hours in the coming year. With contributions from CMU and a few of our smaller collaborators, we might get to 50M this year. So that would be my range for the coming year, 35M - 50M. Beyond that, we need to start planning now on how we are going to grow. But it will be a challenge to ramp up from ~1Mhr over the past year to 40Mhr. We will need to demonstrate our ability to effectively consume this much simulation before looking for more resources.</div></div><div><br></div><div>-Richard</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 8, 2018 at 3:53 PM, David Lawrence <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:davidl@jlab.org" target="_blank">davidl@jlab.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Hi Richard,<div><br></div><div> I recall you giving a number at one time for how many CPU hours we might reasonably</div><div>expect to get out of the OSG in a year.
