Hi,
I entered Teragrid web and I saw this info:
" To qualify for an award, the principal investigator (PI) must be a researcher or educator at a U.S. academic or non-profit research institution. A qualified advisor may apply for an allocation for his or her class, but a high school, undergraduate or graduate student may not be a PI. A postdoctoral researcher can also be a PI. (After receiving an award, PIs can request that students be granted accounts to use the PIs allocation.)
In general, TeraGrids follow the guidelines outlined in the current NSF Grant Proposal Guide. However, investigators with support from any funding source, not just NSF, are encouraged to apply. If your institution is not a university or a 2- or 4-year college, special rules may apply. Contact help@teragrid.org for details."
Since I'm outside US I believe I'm not elegible. Is that right?
Tks

You might consider applying for a (free) Teragrid account with which you can relatively easily obtain 30 thousand CPU hours in a Development Allocation. We're using a few allocations for neuroimaging analysis workflows including FreeSurfer. Just to understand, would they have charged you 33*100*0.75 ($2475) dollars for this?

Dear Freesurfers
I was testing a Cluster-on demand, pay-per-hour-used service US based and
it
seems pretty good. I ran 100 recon-all in 33 hours!!!
The cost of one hour of CPU is USD 0.77
The quote I received is a package of 200.000 hours / month with an hour priced as USD 0.25 cents
This figure represents 5500 Freesurfer recon-all per month.
If many people in the list are interested in sharing the expenses I think
it
would be a quick way to process tons of brains.
The info I received is that this cluster is based in Florida and have 300 cpus
Hope this helps,
PPJ
