New GCS Large-Scale Projects (Nov. 2014)

Twice a year, the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) issues a call for large-scale projects on its petascale supercomputers, currently JUQUEEN (JSC), HORNET (HLRS), and SuperMUC (LRZ). Projects are classified as large-scale if they require at least 35 million core hours. At its October meeting at JSC, the GCS Peer Review Board decided to award the status of a large-scale project to 17 projects from various fields of the simulation sciences. Three projects were granted a total of 308 million compute core hours on HORNET, nine projects were granted a total of about 541 million compute core hours on JUQUEEN, and six projects were granted a total of 180 million compute core hours on SuperMUC. For more details on these projects, see http://www.gauss-centre.eu/large-scale.
