Priority Access to Quest is available through purchasing computational and/or storage resources on Quest. Computational resources are provided at a subsidized cost. CPU only compute nodes are shared with the short partition when idle. Jobs will start within 4 hours of submission time. Specialty nodes (GPU and high memory) are dedicated to the lab and are not shared with General Access users.
Request a Service and Cost: Information about purchasing computational or storage resources on Quest can be found on the Purchasing Resources on Quest documentation page.
