Dear sandbox users,
The key goal of DE Africa is to
improve the lives of people in Africa through the benefits and impacts of
information created by DE Africa. This goal calls for increasingly
sophisticated users and uptake of DE Africa capabilities, and strong
support for users progressing from experimental and learning points of view
to production mindsets.
To maximise the impactful use of the
Sandbox, DE Africa would like to encourage and support the development of
large scale applications and demonstrations for potential operational
users.
We would like to offer selected
users access to large sandboxes, with up to 15 processing cores and 120 GB
of memory (max default is 4 cores and 32 GB of memory). The existing
sandbox Terms and Conditions apply.
Application is now open through
this multi-page form.
The offer will be available to
any DE Africa user who has completed the “Intro to Sandbox training” and has a use
case that requires extra computing power in a Sandbox. DE Africa will
evaluate applications based on the following criteria:
- method
and approach is technically feasible and scientifically valid;
- demonstrated
ability to achieve desired outcomes within the access period; -
connection of the use case to decision making, and;
- supports
DE Africa’s diversity and inclusion principles.
Users will access the DE Africa Help Desk for support.
This initial offer will be for 3
months from April 2022, with a possiblity of extension through another
application process. By the end of the 3-month, the power user is expected
to complete a user experience survey and provide a brief report
that can be turned into a blog published on the Digital Earth Africa
website.
Apply now and let’s
create some impact together!
