+The high-performance computing model at UC Davis starts with a principal investigator (PI) purchasing resources (compute, GPU, storage) and making them available to their lab. HPCCF will assist in onboarding and providing support. 
+
+As a new principal investigator who is interested in purchasing resources, please read the **Our Clusters** section below to determine which clusters are appropriate for onboarding. HPCCF can assist with hardware and storage investments for condo clusters and sell fair-share priority, primary and archive storage for fair-share clusters. Please email hpc-help@ucdavis.edu with your affiliation to start the onboarding process. Resources external to UC Davis can also purchase resources by inquiring at the hpc-help email address.

+For getting started with HPC access under an existing PI, please see [requesting an account](https://docs.hpc.ucdavis.edu/general/account-requests/).

 ### Our Clusters
 
 ####_Condo Clusters_
 An HPC condo-style cluster is a shared computing infrastructure where different users or groups contribute resources (such as compute nodes, storage, or networking) to a common pool, similar to how individual condo owners share common amenities.

 A fair-share HPC algorithm is a resource allocation strategy used to ensure equitable access to computing resources among multiple users or groups. The goal is to balance the workload and prevent any single user or group from monopolizing the resources.
