# Grenzwerte für Ressourcen und Antragslaufzeiten nach NHR Zentrum
Die im Folgenden zusammengestellten Grenzwerte für GPU- und CPU-Ressourcen geben Grenzen für die beantragten Werte an, wie man sie in den Antragsschienen über JARDS eingeben kann. Diese Werte dienen lediglich als Orientierungshilfe. Die Bewilligung der so beantragten Ressourcen obliegt den NHR-Zentren. \
_Hinweis: Besonders bei Vorbereitungs(Prep)- oder Test-Projekten sind die Obergrenzen häufig deutlich höher gesetzt, als Werte, die ohne vorherige Absprache bewilligt werden._
Die Standardlaufzeit gibt den voreingetragenen Wert bei Erstellung eines neuen Antrags an. Je nach Antragsschiene kann der Antragssteller die Laufzeit noch ändern. Es ist zu beachten, dass der Starttermin für NHR-L-Anträge auf den Start des nächstmöglichen Calls festgesetzt ist. Für andere Antragsschienen kann das Start- sowie das Enddatum geändert werden.
Mehr Informationen über die einzelnen Mitgliedszentren des NHR Vereins finden sich unter [nhr-verein.de/unsere-mitglieder](https://www.nhr-verein.de/unsere-mitglieder).
Alle Angaben zu **CPU**-Grenzwerten sind in Millionen Core-Stunden (**mio. core-h**).
Alle Angaben zu **GPU**-Grenzwerten sind in Tausend GPU Core-Stunden (**k GPU-h**).
Alle Angaben zu **FPGA**-Grenzwerten sind in Tausend FPGA Core-Stunden (**k FPGA-h**).
Die **Werte gelten pro Jahr**, die Grenzen im Antragsformular skalieren diese Angabe mit der beantragten Laufzeit der Projekte. (_Zum Beipiel: eine Angabe von 0.1 mio core-h pro Jahr bedeutet, dass für ein 3-Jähriges Projekt maximal 0.3 mio core-h beantragt werden können. Für ein halbjähriges Projekt können nur 0.05 mio core.h beantragt werden_)\
Das Minimum wird auf maximal 1 Jahr skaliert. D.h. bei kürzeren Projekten wird das Minimum reduziert, bei längeren Projekten aber nicht angehoben.\
Bei mehreren beantragten Ressourcen, z.B. CPU und GPU, muss nur bei einer der Ressourcen das angegebene Minimum überschritten werden.
Die unteren Grenzen sind in den beschriebenen Intervallen exklusive (Ausnahme: [NHR@KIT](https://www.nhr.kit.edu/userdocs/horeka/projects/)).
Die Dokumentation der für Ressourcen und Antragslaufzeiten nach NHR Zentrum kann ab sofort [hier](https://git-ce.rwth-aachen.de/jards/issues-external/-/wikis/Grenzwerte-f%C3%BCr-Ressourcen) gefunden werden.
