1 1  === How to get access to resources? ===
2 2  
3 -Access to resources of the Fenix Infrastructure is **free of charge** and is provided in an **excellence-based** procedure, following the [[peer review principles>>https://prace-ri.eu/hpc-access/project-access/project-access-the-peer-review-process/]] which have been established by [[PRACE>>url:http://www.prace-ri.eu/]]. The allocation procedure for available resources is handled by the user communities and resources are provided to European scientists from all scientific domains.

12 +=== **Which resources are available?** ===
24 24  
25 -Neuroscientists are invited to submit project proposals for using resources. Applicants may be researchers of the HBP core project, of its Partnering Projects, EBRAINS services providers or other researchers and groups if they contribute to research topics in the broader scope if the HBP (Open Call for neuroscientists and further details: [[link>>https://fenix-ri.eu/news/human-brain-project-ebrains-call-proposals-european-neuroscientists-large-using-icei-e]]).
14 +The Fenix website provides an overview of which resources are available at which of the current five hosting sites: [[https:~~/~~/fenix-ri.eu/infrastructure/resources/available-resources>>https://fenix-ri.eu/infrastructure/resources/available-resources]]
26 26  
27 -1. Write a proposal using the template [[**Request for HBP Resources in ICEI**>>https://drive.ebrains.eu/f/2a5b296efc2444c1988c/?dl=1]] and send it to the **ICEI Project Management Office (PMO)**: [[icei-coord@fz-juelich.de>>path:mailto:icei-coord@fz-juelich.de]]
28 -1. **Review process**^^1^^
29 -1*. Technical Assessment of the proposal within ICEI
30 -1*. Scientific Assessment by Scientific Experts from inside and outside of HBP
31 -1. **Decision** on awarding the resources based on the results from Technical and Scientific Assessment will be prepared by the [[EBRAINS Infrastructure Allocation Committee (IAC)>>doc:.3\.1 EBRAINS Infrastructure Allocation Committee.WebHome]] and taken by the HBP Directorate^^ 2^^
32 -1. ICEI will make the resources available
16 +The following different types of resources are offered ([[more info>>https://fenix-ri.eu/infrastructure/services]]):
33 33  
34 -The **duration of process** - from the receipt of the proposal until the resources are granted - is usually one month.
18 +* **Scalable Computing Services**: Massively parallel HPC systems that are suitable for highly parallel brain simulations or for high-throughput data analysis tasks.
19 +* **Interactive Computing Services**: Quick access to single compute servers to analyse and visualise data interactively, or to connect to running simulations, which are using the scalable compute services.
20 +* **Virtual Machine Services**: Service for deploying virtual machines (VMs) in a stable and controlled environment that is, for example, suitable for deploying platform services like the HBP Collaboratory, image services or neuromorphic computing front-end services.
21 +* **Active Data Repositories**: Site-local data repositories close to computational and/or visualization resources that are used for storing temporary replicas of data sets.
22 +* **Archival Data Repositories**: Federated data storage, optimized for capacity, reliability and availability that is used for long-term storage of large data sets which cannot be easily regenerated. These data stores allow the sharing of data with other researchers inside and outside of HBP.
35 35  
36 -A detailed description of the **full allocation mechanism for HBP** is included in the **ICEI deliverable [[D5.1>>url:https://emdesk.humanbrainproject.eu/shared/5e4d42708d9e4-deb3e06d16b6c6be23abec7746bc6b32]]**.

40 -The** ICEI PMO** serves as the **point of contact** for everyone involved in the allocation procedure.
41 -
42 -If you have any questions or you would like to have an update on the status of your application, **do not hesitate to contact us**: [[icei-coord@fz-juelich.de>>path:mailto:icei-coord@fz-juelich.de]]

46 -^^1^^ The review process follows the [[peer review principles>>https://prace-ri.eu/hpc-access/project-access/project-access-the-peer-review-process/]] that have been established by PRACE
47 -
48 -^^2^^ In case of small-scale projects the EBRAINS IAC may consider a shortened procedure without Scientific Assessment; thresholds that are taken into acoount for consideration:
49 -
50 -* The requested amount of resources does not exceed 5% of the total available Fenix credits of any resource class during the project duration
51 -* The number of submitted small proposals or granted and still active proposals, which have been submitted by the same team, is at most 4.
24 +Note that some of the resources at CSCS will be decommissioned in March 2023.
