It is the mission of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) to offer computing power of the highest performance class for computational sciences and engineering at its three member sites in Garching (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, LRZ), Juelich (Juelich Supercomputing Centre,JSC), and Stuttgart (High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, HLRS). For the first time users can apply for computing time on the new 3 PetaFlop/s system of LRZ, SuperMUC, which will start operation in this summer. The current call is for large scale projects, only. Projects are classified as Large-Scale if they require more than 5% of the potentially available core cycles of one year on a member centre s high-end system i.e., more than 40 Mill. core-hours at LRZ (SuperMUC, starting August 2012), more than 40 Mill. core-hours at HLRS (HERMIT Step 1), more than 70 Mill. core-hours at JSC (corresponding to 24 rack months IBM BG/P). We ask all users with really challenging projects and huge demands on compute time to answer this call. For details of the call see: http://www.gauss-centre.eu/computing-time/call/ For smaller scale projects and test accounts at LRZ you still need to wait a bit; LRZ will accept applications only after the current Gauss call has expired The deadline for current Gauss calll is: February 29, 2012.
