The first HPC system available to researchers through PRACE: the IBM BlueGene/P – Jugene – hosted by FZJ in Germany. Jugene offers computation power of one Petaflop/s and is one of the fastest computers in the world (number 4 on the latest Top 500 list of world’s most powerful computers).

PRACE (the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) allows researchers from across Europe to apply for time on high-performance computers from a series of hosting nations via a central peer review process. Calls for proposals for computer time on PRACE machines are issued regularly and have strict closing dates.

Researchers can also apply for technical support from PRACE software experts for code testing and optimisation. For these proposals applicants can only request computer time for performing the proposed testing and optimisation of codes, i.e. no computer time for standard production work must be included in the proposal. Calls for proposals for technical support are open all year round.

Click here to apply for computer time or technical support on PRACE. It is strongly advised that you read the information on PRACE HPC access before applying for PRACE resources.

See also the document announcing the First Regular call (doc) with the criteria  to be fullfilled.
