First, email <a href=\"mailto:help@oarc.rutgers.edu\"><b>help@oarc.rutgers.edu<\/b><\/a>, and an OARC team member will work with you to understand your research requirements and help determine the appropriate compute and storage resources for your project, including recommended specifications, quantities, and costs.<\/p>\n<p>Once the details have been determined, the Business team will process an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) outlining terms, length of ownership, costs, and other details. Upon signing the MOU and providing your account string to be charged (either GL or Project), your hardware will be allocated to you and your designated lab members. Finally, the Business team will process a journal entry transferring funds due from your account.<\/p>\n<p>If you or your collaborators are not already Amarel users, you will also need to complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/research-computing\/amarel-cluster-access-request\/\"><b>General Access Account Request Form<\/b><\/a>\u00a0to obtain an account.<\/p>\n\n                            <p><i  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"fa-sharp-duotone fa-solid fa-link\"><\/i>\n                                <a  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"copy-accordion-link\" href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/research-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2644?panel=how-do-i-become-an-amarel-owner\">Link\n                                    to this item <span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/li>\n                \n                    <li class=\"accordion-list-item\" id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-being-an-amarel-owner\">\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-6a61b2b806a5a-1\" aria-controls=\"section-6a61b2b806a5a-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                            <h3>                        <i class=\"\"\" style=\"color: #CC0033\"><\/i>\n                        What are the benefits of being an Amarel owner?<\/h3>\n                        <\/button>\n                        <div id=\"section-6a61b2b806a5a-1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-6a61b2b806a5a-1\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n                            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/research-computing\/amarel\/\">Amarel&#8217;s<\/a> shared ownership (&#8220;condo&#8221;) model creates benefits for researchers, funding agencies, Rutgers University, and the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Priority access to computing resources<\/strong><br \/>\nThe primary benefit of ownership is guaranteed, priority access to computing resources. While all idle resources are made available to the broader Rutgers research community through Amarel&#8217;s shared environment, owners receive preferential access to the nodes they purchase. Owners can start jobs at any time, and their jobs are not subject to preemption by other users. Their resources remain available whenever needed, except during scheduled maintenance or unexpected system outages.<\/p>\n<p>This model provides the experience of having dedicated computing equipment in your own lab while eliminating the challenges and costs of building and operating a private cluster. Owners do not need to manage hardware, maintain a data center, handle vendor relationships, troubleshoot system failures, or train students and staff to administer computing infrastructure. OARC manages the entire environment, allowing researchers to focus on their research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost-effective use of grant funding<\/strong><br \/>\nAmarel nodes and storage can be purchased as capital equipment, either as part of the overall cluster or in increments as small as a single node. As capital equipment, these purchases are generally not subject to Facilities &amp; Administration (F&amp;A) or indirect cost charges on sponsored project budgets, providing significant savings to both researchers and funding agencies.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, OARC purchases hardware in large volumes, securing substantial vendor discounts that are passed directly to researchers. This approach reduces costs and enables investigators from a wide range of disciplines, including those with more limited research computing budgets, to access advanced computing and storage resources.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers interested in including Amarel compute or storage resources in a grant proposal should contact <a href=\"mailto:help@oarc.rutgers.edu\">help@oarc.rutgers.edu<\/a>\u00a0for current pricing, quotes, and budgeting guidance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits to the Rutgers research community<\/strong><br \/>\nRutgers, like many of its peer institutions, has benefited from centralizing research computing infrastructure and expertise through OARC. The university invests in the core Amarel infrastructure, including data centers, networking, support staff, general-access compute nodes, and shared storage. Researcher investments in owned nodes help continually refresh and expand the cluster with the latest technology.<\/p>\n<p>Owners pay only for the specific compute and storage resources they purchase, at vendor cost, while gaining access to a professionally managed, enterprise-scale research computing environment. At the same time, the entire Rutgers research community benefits from a larger, more capable, and more sustainable shared computing ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n                            <p><i  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"fa-sharp-duotone fa-solid fa-link\"><\/i>\n                                <a  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"copy-accordion-link\" href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/research-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2644?panel=what-are-the-benefits-of-being-an-amarel-owner\">Link\n                                    to this item <span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/li>\n                \n                    <li class=\"accordion-list-item\" id=\"does-amarel-work-just-as-well-if-you-arent-an-owner\">\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-6a61b2b806a5a-2\" aria-controls=\"section-6a61b2b806a5a-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                            <h3>                        <i class=\"\"\" style=\"color: #CC0033\"><\/i>\n                        Does Amarel work just as well if you aren&#8217;t an owner?<\/h3>\n                        <\/button>\n                        <div id=\"section-6a61b2b806a5a-2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-6a61b2b806a5a-2\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n                            <p>Yes, but there is the chance that a job being run by a non-owner (referred to as a General or Open Access User) may be preempted if they are on an owned node and the owner begins to run their own job.<\/p>\n\n                            <p><i  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"fa-sharp-duotone fa-solid fa-link\"><\/i>\n                                <a  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"copy-accordion-link\" href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/research-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2644?panel=does-amarel-work-just-as-well-if-you-arent-an-owner\">Link\n                                    to this item <span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/li>\n                \n                    <li class=\"accordion-list-item\" id=\"how-do-i-pay-for-my-amarel-compute-and-storage-equipment-\">\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-6a61b2b806a5a-3\" aria-controls=\"section-6a61b2b806a5a-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                            <h3>                        <i class=\"\"\" style=\"color: #CC0033\"><\/i>\n                        How do I pay for my Amarel compute and storage equipment? <\/h3>\n                        <\/button>\n                        <div id=\"section-6a61b2b806a5a-3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-6a61b2b806a5a-3\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n                            <div role=\"presentation\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\">Through the MOU process, while working with the Business team, owners will provide OARC with the appropriate university account strings(s), either general ledger or project.
