30th GCS Large-Scale Call – New Projects Started in November 2023
Twice a year, the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) issues a call for large-scale projects on its petascale supercomputers – Hawk (HLRS), JUWELS (JSC), and SuperMUC-NG (LRZ). Projects are classified as “large-scale” if they require at least 2 % of the systems’ annual production in terms of estimated availability.
Since computing time on Hawk and SuperMUC-NG are specified in core hours (specifically in million core hours, Mcore-h) and on JUWELS in peak floating point operations per year (FLOP/a), projects only fall into the “large-scale” category if they require at least 100 Mcore-h on Hawk, 45 x 1021 FLOP/a on JUWELS, or 45 Mcore-h on SuperMUC-NG.
The GCS Peer Review Board decided to award the status of a large-scale project to over 20 proposals from various scientific fields. In total, six projects were granted about 2050 Mcore-h on Hawk, 12 projects were granted approx. 535 x 1021 FLOP/a on JUWELS, and six projects were granted about 590 Mcore-h on SuperMUC-NG.
More details about these projects can be found on the GCS website.
