Call for Proposals for HPC Compute Resources from DECI-14

DECI (Distributed European Computing Initiative) provides cross-national access to European Tier-1 HPC resources (national systems). Access will be awarded for a period of 12 months, beginning 3 April 2017.

Resources are available on the following architectures: Cray XC30/Cray XC40, Intel clusters (various processor and memory configurations) and hybrid systems (clusters with GPGPU accelerators or Xeon Phi Co-processors (KNC)) made available from Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK. Applicants need not specify a particular machine or architecture, but if they do, we will endeavour to take these preferences into account.

The DECI-14 call is managed by the PRACE Optional Programme with support from PRACE aisbl. This call is issued jointly with EUDAT. Together, they offer the opportunity to make awards of compute and data resources to projects that also have needs for storage capacity and associated data services. Applicants may apply for both the DECI and EUDAT calls at the same time or may apply to just one of the calls.
