Applying for Computing Time on Hunter
Eligible scientists must be employed at universities or research facilities in Germany. Here, the nationality of the applicant (principal investigator, PI) does not play a role. The project PI must have a proven scientific record (preferably a PhD or comparable degree) and must be able to successfully accomplish the proposed tasks. For regular projects, there is a rolling call, with applications accepted at any time.
Applicants shall port their applications to the new system as soon as possible. HLRS support is available and required support should be outlined in the project application.
Further Reporting Obligations
Each project has to submit an Annual Report, which has to be provided in the first quarter of the following year. At the same time a publication list containing all publications based on research results achieved through the compute project has to be submitted per Email.
How to Acknowledge Granted GCS Resources in Publications and Presentations
GCS Large-Scale Projects
The authors thank the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing e.V. (GCS) for providing computing time on the Supercomputer Hunter at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart. Hunter is supported by GCS through funding by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Arts.
Regular GCS Projects
Please make sure to mention the use of the GCS infrastructure at HLRS by an acknowledgement in your publications e.g. like “The simulations were performed on the national supercomputer [Cray XC40 Hazel Hen| HPE Apollo Hawk|HPE Cray EX4000 Hunter] at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) under the grant number <Acronym>/<Account ID>.”
