communication via AMIE– Eliminates manual creation of
allocations via NCSA systems– All allocations (and related
requests) must be requested and processed via POPS
– Workload can now be distributed
• TGUP-POPS pass-through authentication– No need to ‘re-login’ if user
accesses POPS via TGUP
Major upgrade rolled out YESTERDAY

Allocations RAT Follow-up, Pt 2
• Startup review process will be affected.– Reviewers will now be the
bottleneck.– TG-wide reviewer will be default;
sites that want a hands-on review for their resource, let me know.
– We also need Startup limits for each resource; we’re assuming 30k until told otherwise.
• Add-user process also moved into POPS backend.– NCSA staff will continue to
process these requests for now
Action items for RPs here!
