PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) is a<br />
Research Infrastructure that allows researchers from across<br />
Europe to apply for time on high-performance computers from a<br />
series of hosting nations via a central peer review process.</p>
<p>----------------------------------------------------------------<br />
PRACE Preparatory Access Call<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>Preparatory access is intended for testing and developing codes<br />
in order to prepare applications for PRACE Tier-0 project access.<br />
In particular, we would like to draw your attention to the<br />
Preparatory Access Type C and Type D which includes code<br />
development with support from PRACE experts.<br />
Type C provides direct access to a Tier-0 system.<br />
Type D offers users to start the optimisation work on a PRACE Tier-1 national<br />
system to finally reach PRACE Tier-0 system scalability.</p>
<p>Further information are given on the PRACE web page</p>

<p>The Preparatory Access Call is a rolling call, researchers can<br />
apply for access all year. There are no closing dates, proposals<br />
for Type C and Type D will be reviewed every third month.</p>
<p>The next cut-off date is September 2nd, 2019.</p>
<p>We invite all interested scientists, whose projects fit the<br />
criteria of the PRACE call to submit their projects. The<br />
criteria for the PRACE Calls as well as complete information on<br />
the PRACE machines, how to apply and on the PRACE peer review<br />
process can be found on the website mentioned above.</p>
