Request to use Fornax XLarge Science Console

In the interest of completing some benchmark testing for using the LSDB package to cross-match large cloud catalogs (https://github.com/nasa-fornax/fornax-demo-notebooks/pull/384), I would like to request permission to use the XL environment for the larger/dask-intensive cross-matches. I should be able to complete the tests within ~3 hours.

LSDB received some updates in the past couple months that requires recomputing my benchmarks.

This is a good use, so go ahead. Please keep track of how long it runs in case it unexpectedly runs a lot longer than three hours. (Like, over a day.)

I finished all but 3 of my benchmark tests yesterday before shutting down. Everything ran as expected. I’d like to finish the tests today, which will require booting up a new instance, is that all right?
