High-End Computing Capability
Computing power to answer NASA's complex science and engineering questions
Eligibility for Getting Computing Time
If you are a NASA-sponsored scientist or engineer, computing time is available to you through the High End Computing Capability (HECC) Project. HECC has a two-part process for obtaining time on its systems: Requesting an Allocation (Phase I) and Getting an Account (Phase II). Obtaining this access also opens access to our wide variety of services to help you succeed.
Requirements
Before you request an allocation of time on our systems, you must meet at least one of the following eligibility requirements to be considered for NASA-sponsored work:
- NASA grant or cooperative agreement number, contract number, or work breakdown structure (WBS) number.
- NASA agreement such as a Space Act Agreement or Memorandum of Agreement/Understanding.
- NASA center employee (civil servant or contractor).
Process Overview
To become a NASA HECC user, you must complete a request for computing time. Read this section first to get a good understanding of the general request and approval processes for award of computer hours.
Accounts Process Overview
Requesting an Allocation (Phase I)
Getting an Account (Phase II)
