PRACE and XSEDE are major Research Infrastructures, providing peer reviewed access to high-end HPC resources and services in Europe and the US.
The two Research Infrastructures will support research teams for setting up the required interoperability if a clear benefit is to be expected from the new facilities. Resource allocations are not part of this call, however allocations for testing purposes will be possible.
This call for requesting support complements the call of last year which was targeted at Expressions of Interest for potential joint allocation of resources. From that call it became clear that there is great interest in the enabling of the interoperable facilities of the two infrastructures. This call will give all interested research teams the opportunity to express their interest in the enhancement of interoperability and indicate interest in collaborative support opportunities with both XSEDE and PRACE.
The XSEDE Senior Management Team and the PRACE Board of Directors invite requests for support for such joint activities by PRACE and XSEDE. The request should target the enhancement of the interoperability between PRACE and XSEDE. The selected proposals will receive support both from PRACE-3IP project and XSEDE in order to improve the interoperability. For testing the implemented solutions on the PRACE and XSEDE systems time can be requested.
Requests for Support should be submitted before 31 January 2014.
