Hours are allocated for one year so you need to renew them after one year. You | ||
will get a reminder email roughly one month in advance. The same procedure | ||
applies if you have used almost all your hours and you want to ask for more. | ||
|
||
The procedure is fully detailed | ||
[here](http://www.idris.fr/eng/info/gestion/demande-heures/documentation-ad/renouvellement-dossier-ad-eng.html) | ||
but here is a short summary to know what to expect: | ||
|
||
- the procedure happens on https://www.edari.fr/utilisateur. The main thing is | ||
to ask for the number hours you want (GPU and potentially CPU). | ||
- you need to write an activity report (PDF), about half a page should be | ||
enough. The main idea is to show that you made good use of the hours, for | ||
example by listing publications. There is an activity report template | ||
[here](http://www.idris.fr/media/ia/ressources/modele-rapport-ad.pdf) (in | ||
French) that may help you. Also remember to acknowledge Jean-Zay in your | ||
article (see [this](#how-to-cite-jean-zay-in-your-article) for more details). | ||
- download a PDF summarizing your renewal application, get it signed by your | ||
"directeur de recherche" and upload it on the EDARI website. In some cases | ||
this step happens automatically (the "directeur de recherche" gets an | ||
automated email and can validate your project directly) | ||
|
||
## How to cite Jean-Zay in your article | ||
|
||
This is important if you want Jean-Zay to get the credit it deserves and may | ||
help to get more funding and eventually to get more compute nodes. | ||
|
||
Add this to your acknowledgments: | ||
|
||
> This work was performed using HPC resources from GENCI–IDRIS (Grant [year]-[project number]) | ||
for example (if you project was allocated hours in 2021 and your project number | ||
is AD12345678): | ||
|
||
> This work was performed using HPC resources from GENCI–IDRIS (Grant 2021-AD12345678) | ||
