<p>Dear Users,</p>
<p>the PRACE 9th Call for proposals for Project Access (Tier-0) is now open and will close on March 25, 12:00 (noon) CET. The allocation decision is scheduled for the 2nd week of July 2014, and the Tier-0 Access, for 1 year allocation, will take place starting on September, the 2nd 2014 until September, the 1st 2015.</p>
<p>CINECA invites all interested scientists, whose projects fit the criteria of the PRACE calls, to submit their projects. The criteria for the PRACE calls, as well as complete information on the PRACE machines, how to apply and on the PRACE peer review process, can be found at <a href="http://www.prace-ri.eu/PRACE-Project-Access" target="_blank">http://www.prace-ri.eu/PRACE-Project-Access</a>.</p>
<p>Six Tier-0 machines are available:</p>
<ul><li> IBM Blue Gene/Q “JUQUEEN” (GCS@Jülich, Germany)</li>
<li> Bull Bullx cluster “CURIE” (<a href="mailto:GENCI@CEA">GENCI@CEA</a>, France)</li>
<li> Cray XE6 “HERMIT” (<a href="mailto:GCS@HLRS">GCS@HLRS</a>, Germany)</li>
<li> IBM System X iDataplex “SuperMUC” (<a href="mailto:GCS@LRZ">GCS@LRZ</a>, Germany)</li>
<li> IBM System X iDataplex “MareNostrum” (BSC, Spain)</li>
<li> IBM Blue Gene/Q “FERMI” (CINECA, Italy)</li>
</ul><p>This Call for Proposals targets large-scale, computationally intensive projects that would not be possible or productive without access to PRACE resources.</p>
<p>Applications for Project Access must use codes that have been previously tested and that demonstrate high scalability and optimisation to multi-core architectures or that demonstrate a requirement for ensemble simulations that need a very large amount of CPU overall.</p>
<p>For development and scaling of HPC codes, PRACE offers Preparatory Access <a href="http://www.prace-ri.eu/PRACE-Preparatory-Access" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
