Preparatory access is intended for testing and developing codes
in order to prepare applications for PRACE Tier-0 project access.
In particular, we would like to draw your attention to the
Preparatory Access Type C and Type D which includes code
development with support from PRACE experts. Type C provides
direct access to a Tier-0 system. Type D offers users to
start the optimisation work on a PRACE Tier-1 national
system to finally reach PRACE Tier-0 system scalability.
Further information are given on the PRACE web page
http://www.prace-ri.eu/PRACE-Preparatory-Access
The Preparatory Access Call is a rolling call, researchers can
apply for access all year. There are no closing dates, proposals
for Type C and Type D will be reviewed every third month.
The next cut-off date is June 3rd, 2019.
We invite all interested scientists, whose projects fit the
criteria of the PRACE call to submit their projects. The
criteria for the PRACE Calls as well as complete information on
the PRACE machines, how to apply and on the PRACE peer review
process can be found on the website mentioned above.
