Regular research projects are intended as production use of supercomputing capacities or data storage allocations when the requirements are not very large.
More information
Terms of Service
RRP projects are granted access for a maximum of 12 months from the date of resource allocation, renewable on the basis of a report and an assessment of the progress of the project, with a maximum total duration of two years from the date of the grant of access. Computing resources will be allocated in accordance with the SLING Task Allocation Standards; a specific set of resource usage rules may apply to certain systems.
Deadlines for applications: visit page.
Beneficiaries, review procedure and allocation
RRP projects can be submitted at any time to a permanently open call, and project applications are not subject to scientific peer review, but are evaluated by the members of the expert group on technical level and relevance. Once approved by the expert group, the administrators can grant access. The results will be announced within 1 month after each submission deadline.
Project support
SLING provides high-level technical support to each RRP project, organised by the Support Team. In special cases, the applicant may request expert support at the time of application to solve specific problems or to ensure the optimisation required by the project. Such support must be requested and justified by the applicant in the project application.
Limitations
An applicant can only act as project leader in one approved RRP project at the same time.
Project application
You can apply for a project using the application form.
Instructions for project application
Project applications will be evaluated on technical level and relevance and must therefore include the following elements, which must be attached as files to the application form:
Agreement on the processing of personal data (GDPR) and declaration on the use of resources
Report of work and extension or increase of resources
Project report
After the completion of the project, the manager is obliged to submit a project report (template on the button below).
Extending and/or increasing resources
When renewing a project or requesting an extension, the project may request a maximum of 50% of additional resources than those approved in the original resource allocation. A time extension is also possible for a maximum of 6 months. You can request a project extension after submitting a project report. You can request a project extension after submitting a project report at least one month before the end of the project. For the extension of a project, multi-annual project managers must submit an interim report after one year, on the basis of which the project extension can be approved. The project will be suspended if the report is not submitted on time.
Requests for project extensions, as well as all reports, can be submitted to support@sling.si.
