12th PRACE Call for Proposals for Project Access is open

12th PRACE Call for Proposals for Project Access

Open from 30 September 2015, 13:30 CEST until 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 12th 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.

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
