Large-Scale Projects

Large-scale projects and highly scalable parallel applications are characterised by large computing time requirements, not only for short time frames, but often for longer time periods. Projects are classified as "Large-Scale", if they require more than 2% of the potentially available core cycles for GCS in one year on a member centre's high-end system, i.e. Calls for large-scale scientific projects by the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing are issued twice a year. Dates for closure of calls are usually at the end of winter and at the end of summer of each year.

These projects were awarded "large-scale" status:
