[NLPL Task Force (A)] allocation request for additional billing units on Puhti

[Martin Matthiesen]

Hello Stephan,

Formally you as PI would need to apply for the billing units in my.csc.fi. It seems you need to apply for 100K twice, which is a bit inconvenient.
I calculated that there are 8M units left, so there should not be a problem (accumulated from previous years).

Martin
