## GPU Resource Allocation Request Guidelines

**Important:** In order to ensure that our limited GPU resources are allocated in an optimal and transparent manner, we require all researchers to provide a clear and concise justification for their resource requests.

When submitting a request for GPU resources, please provide a concise explanation of how the allocated resources will be utilized to support your research objectives. This justification should include:

- A brief overview of your research project, including its goals and objectives.
- If you (or your team) are targeting a specific journal or conference, please include the CfP(Call for Papers) URL.
- This may help us to prioritize your resource request accordingly if the deadlines are nearer.
- A description of the specific GPU resources required, including:
- A brief description of workloads, you are going to run on the GPU(s).
- If you are requesting multiple GPUs, please provide detailed justification with regard to VRAM requirements or research challenges.
- A description of your storage requirements. Explain why you need a specific amount of storage by providing the details on:
- The size of the model (i.e. the approximate number of model parameters)
- The size and number of datasets.
- Any specific storage-related constraints or limitations.
- If you entered non-zero values to 'CPU Guaranteed' or 'Memory Guaranteed', please provide a detailed justification for your request.
- In most cases, you don't need to obtain guaranteed CPU or Memory resources, and guaranteed resources only increase the risk of your workloads being terminated due to underutilized guaranteed resources.
- An estimate of the expected duration of the project.

<div class="warning">
Failure to provide a satisfactory justification may result in delays or rejection of your resource request.

### Why this is important?

As system administrators, we are accountable to the CSE department for ensuring that our GPU resources are allocated in a way that maximizes their impact on research projects. By providing a clear justification for your resource requests, you are helping us to:

- Evaluate the merits and urgency of each request and prioritize allocations accordingly.
- Report to the CSE department on the effective utilization of our GPU resources and the impact on research outcomes.
- Continuously improve our resource allocation processes to better support the research community.

Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out to us at [contact@bacchus.snucse.org](mailto:contact@bacchus.snucse.org).
