PRACE 12th Call for Proposals now open

The call closes on 11 November 2015, 12:00 (noon) CET

Proposals can be based on a 12-months schedule, or, for Multi-year Projects, on a 24- or 36-months schedule. The allocation of awarded resources is made for 1 year at a time with provisional allocations awarded for the 2nd and 3rd year.

Additionally, the 12th Call:

  • Reserves 0.5% of the total resources available for the 11th Call for Centres of Excellence (CoE) as selected by the EC under the E-INFRA-5-2015 call for proposals. CoE don’t need to apply to this PRACE call – if funded by the EC, CoE requesting access to PRACE resources will be awarded PRACE resources from this reserve.

PRACE is currently in a transition phase to a new funding and governance model. Unfortunately this necessitates a temporary reduction in the number of Tier-0 resources available for Call 12. Therefore the 12th Call will offer resources on only:

  • FERMI, an IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer operated by CINECA, Italy
  • MareNostrum, an IBM System x iDataPlex supercomputer operated by BSC, Spain

Both systems are suitable for to a wide variety of codes and awarded projects will receive dedicated technical support at the hosting sites.
