PRACE Project Access 4th call for proposals for Tier-0 and Synchronized Call for Tier-1 Opening date: 2nd November 2011 Closing date: 10th January 2012, 1600 CEST Start date: 1st May 2012 Allocation period: 1 year Type of access: Project access PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) is a Research Infrastructure that allows researchers from across Europe to apply for time on high-performance computers from a series of hosting nations via a central peer review process. This call is the fourth PRACE-RI Regular call for Project access, inviting applications for high-end (Tier-0) computing resources to carry out projects which have high scientific quality and impact. Allocation will be for 1 year starting from 1st May 2012. The call also invites proposals for project access to Tier-1 resources, via DECI, the Distributed European Computing Initiative, providing single project cross-national access to national (Tier-1) HPC-resources. The DECI call is synchronized in preparation for future integrated calls for Tier-0 and Tier-1 resources. The DECI Call, its processes, the procedures and mechanisms are explained in detail in section DECI Call . The deadline for submission of proposals both for Tier-0 and for Tier-1 is 10th January 2012 at 1600 CET.

PRACE grants 721 million compute hours on Tier-0 systems to twenty-four European research projects and opens new call for Project Access
by LRZ aktuell Nov. 2, 2011

Nov. 2, 2011

PRACE Research Infrastructure PRACE Press Releases PRACE grants 721 million compute hours on Tier-0 systems to twenty-four European research projects and opens new call for Project Access 28 October 2011 The PRACE Research Infrastructure featured, in the third PRACE regular call, a new system codenamed HERMIT that is installed at HLRS, Stuttgart provided by the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing in Germany. In addition to this, the Thin Node partition of CURIE made available by GENCI and operated at CEA, Bruyeres-Le-Chatel, France was included, adding capability to the PRACE Research Infrastructure (RI). HERMIT is the third Tier-0 system in the PRACE RI after JUGENE (GCS) and CURIE (GENCI). The number of PRACE systems will continue to grow and provide more capacity and services to the European communities. A total of 53 applications requesting 1.687 million compute core hours were received in this 3rd regular call, for one year resource allocations on the PRACE Research Infrastructure. The projects were chosen for their high level of scientific and technical maturity, expected impact, and demonstrated need for Tier-0 resources. The projects are from the following scientific areas: astrophysics, chemistry and material science, medicine and life sciences, engineering and energy, fundamental physics and mathematics. All proposals underwent a peer review process governed by the PRACE Access Committee including PRACE technical assessment. The following twenty-four projects, in alphabetical order, were awarded access to PRACE RI resources. More information on the projects and the corresponding awarded time is available at http://www.prace-ri.eu/ hpc-access. * Understanding baryon structure with QCD simulations with light, strange and charm dynamical quark flavours, Prof. Constantia Alexandrou, University of Cyprus * Pushing the Strong Interaction past its Breaking Point: QCD in the quark-gluon plasma phase., Dr Chris Allton, Swansea University * Physics of the Solar Chromosphere, Prof. Mats Carlsson, University of Oslo * Protein effects on the structural and optical properties of biological chromophores: Quantum Monte Carlo / Molecular Mechanics calculations on Rhodopsin and Light Harvesting Complexes, Prof. Leonardo Guidoni, Universita degli Studi de L'Aquila * Validating QRPA microscopic calculations of radiative strengths for astrophysics, Dr Stephane Hilaire, CEA DAM DIF * Modeling gravitational wave signals from black hole binaries, Prof Sascha Husa, Universitat de les Illes Balears * Singlet physics - the missing link to precision lattice QCD, Dr. Karl Jansen, NIC, DESY Zeuthen * Thermal Dilepton Rates and Electrical Conductivity in the Quark Gluon plasma, Dr. Olaf Kaczmarek, University of Bielefeld * Gyrokinetic Large Eddy Simulations, Prof. Bernard Knaepen, Universite Libre de Bruxelles * Effects of irradiation on nanostructures from first principles simulations, Dr. Arkady Krasheninnikov, University of Helsinki * On the stability of ordinary matter and related issues, Dr Laurent Lellouch, CNRS (Institut de Physique) and Univ.
