It combines a flexible design that supports a wide range of research needs with standardized tools and policies, making it easier to use, manage, and troubleshoot while delivering a smooth, consistent user experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Amarel operates under a &#8216;condo model,&#8217;\u00a0offering free, first\u2011come, first\u2011served access to all Rutgers researchers, including students, staff, and faculty. In this model, research groups can purchase their own compute nodes and storage, gaining priority access to those resources and the ability to preempt general\u2011access jobs when needed. The university provides the remaining infrastructure\u2014data center facilities, power and cooling, networking, hardware support, and system administration\u2014at no additional cost. This approach ensures broad, equitable access through a general\u2011use tier while enabling advanced users to scale their capabilities. It supports research across disciplines, integrates computing into coursework, and allows departments to focus on research rather than maintaining their own systems. Because purchased nodes are treated as capital equipment, they are typically exempt from indirect (F&amp;A) costs on federally sponsored projects, making the model cost\u2011effective for researchers, funders, and the university alike.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                                                                    <a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/research-computing\/research-computing-faqs\/#amarel-faq\" style=\"\" target=\"_self\">View Amarel FAQ<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n            \n            \n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- c--component c--enhanced-cards -->\n\n    <\/section><!-- cc--component-container cc--section -->\n\n\n    <section class=\"cc--component-container cc--enhanced-cards  enhanced-cards color-red\">\n\n<div class=\"c--component c--enhanced-cards\">\n            <a class=\"anchor-adjustment\" id=\"amarel-access\"><\/a>\n        \n\n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"enhanced-cards-bg-img-container  color-red\" style=\"; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; z-index:1;\">\n\n        <div class=\"enhanced-cards\" style=\"grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));\">\n\n            <div class=\"title-description\">\n                                    <h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Access to Amarel<\/h2>\n                \n                \n            <\/div>\n\n                                            <div class=\"before-title enhanced-card has-button color-white visual-content-none text-align-left\" style=\"align-items:start;\">\n                                                                \n                    \n                                        <div class=\"content-wrapper\" style=\"\">\n\n                                                    <div data-mh=\"c--enhanced-cards--title\" class=\"title-container\" style=\"justify-content: flex-start;\">\n                                                                                                                                                                        <h3>\n                                                                            Amarel cluster access request                                                                    <\/h3>\n                            <\/div>\n                        \n                        \n\n                        <div class=\"content\" data-mh=\"c--enhanced-cards--content\" style=\"width:100%\">\n                            <p style=\"text-align: left;\">Any Rutgers University researcher or sponsored guest collaborator can obtain an Amarel account.

Special allocation requests are designed for specific, short-term needs that exceed standard usage policies, such as extended run times, dedicated compute nodes for a limited window, or additional temporary \/scratch storage. The request process is restricted to Principal Investigators or designated group managers, and allocations are strictly limited\u2014typically allowing only one large or two small requests per research group each calendar year.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"\/research-computing\/amarel-special-allocation-request\/\" target=\"_self\">Request a special allocation<\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                                    <\/div>\n            \n            \n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- c--component c--enhanced-cards -->\n\n    <\/section><!-- cc--component-container cc--section -->\n\n\n    <section class=\"cc--component-container cc--enhanced-cards  enhanced-cards color-light-gray\">\n\n<div class=\"c--component c--enhanced-cards\">\n        \n\n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"enhanced-cards-bg-img-container  color-light-gray\" style=\";

Condominium owners receive the highest scheduling priority and are guaranteed access proportional to their investment.<\/p>\n<p>Owner allocations are designed to provide an experience comparable to having a locally managed and dedicated research computing system, while still contributing to the broader Amarel community. When owner resources are idle, unused compute cycles are made available to the general user pool, maximizing overall system utilization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ownership Terms and Storage Options<\/strong><br \/>\nNode ownership is usually based on a four-year lifecycle, aligned with the node\u2019s fully warranted service period; however, increasing prices and limited hardware availability have recently pushed us to move into shorter terms for ownership where that makes sense.  Each purchased Amarel compute node includes 1 TB of complimentary storage for the same four-year term beginning at the time of allocation. Email <a href=\"mailto:business@oarc.rutgers.edu\">business@oarc.rutgers.edu<\/a> if you are interested in learning more.<\/p>\n<p>Additional Amarel storage may be purchased to meet specific research requirements. Storage allocations are available in flexible terms ranging from one-year increments up to four-year periods that align with node ownership terms.<\/p>\n<p>The Amarel storage model was recently updated as part of the Clark expansion and the newly available <a href=\"\/research-data-storage\">Research Data Storage platform<\/a>, including changes to pricing and storage-term policies.

Some applications depend on features that are not compatible with the Amarel computing environment, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remote authentication services<\/li>\n<li>External network connectivity from compute nodes<\/li>\n<li>Persistent services such as web servers or other continuously running applications<\/li>\n<li>Specialized data-transfer mechanisms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To ensure compatibility and supportability, all software with unique infrastructure requirements should be evaluated by the infrastructure team prior to deployment.<\/p>\n<p>For further information on ownership process and details, please see the <a href=\"\/research-computing\/research-computing-faqs\/#amarel-faq\">Amarel FAQ<\/a>.<\/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\/990?panel=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=\"amarel-data-storage\">\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-6a5f14c50cf6b-2\" aria-controls=\"section-6a5f14c50cf6b-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                            <h3>                        <i class=\"\"\" style=\"color: #CC0033\"><\/i>\n                        Amarel data storage<\/h3>\n                        <\/button>\n                        <div id=\"section-6a5f14c50cf6b-2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-6a5f14c50cf6b-2\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n                            <p>Amarel owners may purchase project storage consistent with research needs for $150\/TB (price subject to change).
