CENTER ANNOUNCEMENTS

OLCF USER DOCUMENTATION IS MOVING
As discussed on the September OLCF User Conference Call, our user documentation (system user guides, data transfer information, account information) has moved. The new site for this documentation is https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov. The previous location for our documentation
will be retired today.

An important new feature of our documentation is the ability for you to add your suggestions and contributions via https://github.com/olcf/olcf-user-docs/.

Please begin using the new site for systems documentation and feel free to contribute suggestions, corrections, or additional documentation.

NEW REQUIREMENT FOR ALCC PROPOSALS
For the 2020-2021 ALCC campaign, PIs are required to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) as the first step of submitting a proposal. The ALCC submission site will open at noon on Oct 1 with LOIs due on Dec. 16. All proposals are due when the submission site closes at 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) on Feb. 3, 2020. Information from the LOI will be automatically populated to the proposal by December 18. More information can be found at https://science.osti.gov/ascr/Facilities/Accessing-ASCR-Facilities/ALCC
