Access Scheme

National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) provides researchers with annual access to Australia’s major national computational facilities, namely NCI and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, through a merit-based selection process. In total, NCMAS distributes around 700 million units of computing time to meritorious applicants from around Australia. The main call for applications is made annually in August-October to determine allocations for the following calendar year. Information and application materials are available through the NCMAS portal.

Other access schemes and methods can be found here.

Note that your account needs to be linked to a project to access NCI resources. Resources at NCI are allocated to projects and not to individual users.
