Check your AUs!

Reminder: projects may be awarded AUs on more than one system. Please check the Lex web interface at https://hpcprojects.nrel.gov/ or your allocation's award letter for the system(s) and AUs awarded to your allocation.

If you are a project user, you can also see AUs by logging into Lex (hpcprojects.nrel.gov).
