NCI Guidelines Projects

NCI organises the members along projects. The project codes have the form a12, aa1 or a name. These different forms design projects with different purposes:

Project code	Description
a12	These are compute projects. They receive compute time allocations and can be used to run simulations, analyses or any code in batch mode.
aa1	These are data projects. NCI is more than a supercomputer providing High Performance Computing capabilities. It also hosts a large amount of datasets. There are all kinds of datasets at NCI: replica of international datasets (both public and under licence), published datasets from Australian institutions with either public or restricted access. The aim is to avoid duplications of datasets on the system, please do not download data to your own space before checking for central resources.
name	These are software projects. They enable to manage access to resources for people using a specific software only. E.g. access and cable groups.

The major projects used at the Centre are:

Project code	Purpose	Lead CI
v45	Extra-tropics variability compute project	Andy Hogg
w35	Drought compute project	Claire Carouge
w40	Extreme rainfall compute project	Todd Lane
w42	Extreme rainfall compute project	Abhnil Prasad
w48	Tropical variability compute project	Dietmar Dommenget
w97	Heatwaves compute project	David Karoly
hh5	Share /g/data storage across the Centre	Claire Carouge
ua8	Centre-produced published datasets	Paola Petrelli

There are a lot of useful datasets for the Centre's users. These projects aren't listed here as the list is changing regularly. Please refer to our wiki Data Services section or the | NCI data catalogue to find datasets hosted at NCI.
