I’m new, how do I go about setting up an account and receiving an ACCESS allocation?
Hi shiraf,
Welcome to the Ask.CI!
To set up an ACCESS account, please visit their website: https://access-ci.org/, click “Login” menu in the upper right corner and select “Register” (if you do not have account).
Once you register and login to the system, you can click the “get started” button.
You can also browse the available resources or fill the online form. Once the form is filled, you will get a recommendation for the resources that satisfy your needs.
There are 3 tiers of ACCESS projects. The first tier (“Explore”) will give you a small allocation and requires minimum work to apply. The second (“Discover”) would provide a larger allocation and the third one (“Accelerate”) will give you maximum resources but required a thorough application form. If you have not used the ACCESS resource before, I suggest you start with the “Explore” tier.
You can request a new project by pressing the “Request New Project” button on the following webpage: https://allocations.access-ci.org/.
For an Explore ACCESS request, you’ll usually hear about the outcome by the next business day, so watch your email for important instructions. And see the Exchange Credits section below for what you need to do next.
