About PRACE

A consortium of Austrian universities, represented by the ACONET Association, joined the "Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe" (PRACE) in July 2018 (see Press Release).

This opens up new opportunities in the field of supercomputing for researchers and students in Austria:

Apply for PRACE HPC Access

Preparatory Access allows to optimize own codes for the target system (continuously open call). Support by experts is available (evaluated and granted on a quarterly schedule).
Project Access is for production runs using codes that have been previously tested and that demonstrate high scalability and optimization to multi-core architectures or that demonstrate a requirement for ensemble simulations that need a very large amount of CPU/GPU overall.

The 20th Call for Proposals for Project Access is open from 20 September 2019 until 29 October 2019, 10:00 CET.

In addition, the 20th Call for Proposals pilots an improved Industry Access Track and reserves a part of the resources available for this call for Centres of Excellence (CoE) as selected by the European Commission under the E-INFRA-5-2015 call for proposals.
