New GCS Large-Scale Projects in May 2015

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 April meeting at DESY in Zeuthen, the GCS Peer Review Board decided to award the status of a large-scale project to 16 projects from various fields of the simulation sciences. Three projects were granted a total of 200 million compute core hours on HORNET, 13 projects were granted a total of about 715 million compute core hours on JUQUEEN (a new record at JSC), and two projects were granted 60 million compute core hours on SuperMUC. For more details on these projects, some of which utilize the resources of several centres, see http://www.gauss-centre.eu/large-scale.
