GCS Large-Scale Project at JSC

Twice a year, the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) issues a call for large-scale projects on its petascale supercomputers JUGENE (JSC), HERMIT (HLRS), and SuperMUC (LRZ). Projects are classified as "large-scale", if they require more than 5 % of the available CPU cycles. This time around, the status of a large-scale project on JUGENE was awarded to a project submitted by Prof. Jochen Fröhlich, Technical University Dresden, which was granted 24 rack months. It aims to understand turbulence-induced erosion and the transport of sediment particles in water. For more details on this project and on projects at HERMIT and SuperMUC, see http://www.gauss-centre.eu/gauss-projects/.
