HEC-WSI Resources Access Modes
The High-End Computing Wave Structure Interaction (HEC-WSI) consortium provides access to ARCHER2 resources through specific access modes tailored to meet various research needs. These modes are designed to accommodate different project requirements, such as testing, development, and large-scale simulations, while also supporting early career researchers (ECRs).
The HEC-WSI currently offers three access modes (plus a dedicated allocation for early career researchers (ECRs)):
| Modes | Description | Allocated resources |
| Porting and Benchmarking (PB) | A 6-month project with a small allocation for testing scalability | <= 3000 CUs |
| Code Development (CD) | A 6-month project with a small allocation for improving software performance | <= 4000 CUs |
| Project Access (PA) | A 6-month project with a large allocation for project runs | <= 25000 CUs |
| Early career researchers (ECR) | A 6-month project dedicated allocation for early career researchers (ECRs) including training and support | 2000-25000 CUs |
The resources allocated to the HEC-WSI are awarded as “ARCHER2 time” only, i.e. the following access modes only provide access to ARCHER2 resources and not funding for other items (such as staff time). ARCHER2 costs are notional rather than real costs. To access HEC-WSI resources, please visit Application Forms page and apply through proper modes.
