Second call for access to the Okeanos supercomputer

Okeanos - superkomputer Cray XC40 w ICM UW

ICM again will grant researchers access to the Okeanos supercomputer – a Cray XC40 large-scale computing system. We invite researchers to submit their applications. Access to the Okeanos supercomputer will primarily be granted to scientists whose research requires the use of massively parallel computations. Three types of grants will be awarded, the details of which are presented below.

Type A Grants: Grand Challenges
Type A grants are intended for teams applying for computational time in excess of 2 million core-hours. Projects will be selected through an open call, published twice a year. Information about current calls will be published on ICM web pages. Proposals will be subject to formal, technical and scientific evaluations drawn up by the Advisory Panel composed of scientists from different fields of computational sciences. Computational projects classified as type A grants will be carried out in close cooperation with ICM. Each project will be individually supervised by an HPC specialist from ICM. Computing resources for type A grants are granted for one year.

Type B Grants: Standard
Type B grants are intended for teams applying for computational time not exceeding 2 million core-hours. The call for proposals for type B grants is continuously open. Proposals will be subject to formal, technical and scientific evaluations drawn up by the Advisory Panel composed of scientists from different fields of computational sciences. Computing resources for type B grants are granted for one year.

Type C Grants: Test
Type C grants are intended for teams applying for small computing resources on the level of 20,000
core-hours, for testing their applications or computational models. The main purpose of type
C grants is to gather the information necessary to apply for computational grants of type A or B. The call for proposals for type C grants is continuously open. Proposals are subject to formal and technical evaluations. Computing resources for type C grants are granted for 6 months.

Deadline for type A grant applications: December 5th, 2016. More information about Okeanos grants.
