The GCS-call is open for project leaders whose affiliation is in Germany (or is a foreign office of a German institution). German scientists are also eligible if they are working in an international organisation with significant German participation (such as CERN, ESA, ESO) and do not have a permanent position there.

For large-scale projects, a competitive review and resource allocation process is established by GCS. Large-scale projects are peer reviewed by a committee of the GCS. If approved, they will get increased user support and preferential processing of their jobs. Regular projects are peer-reviewed by a committee from the John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) on behalf of GCS.

JUWELS (Jülich Wizard for European Leadership Science) 2511 nodes on the Cluster Module are equipped with dual-socket Intel-Skylake Platinum 8168 CPUs. In addition, 56 Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6148 nodes are equipped with 4 additional NVIDIA Volta GPUs yielding a total performance of about 12 PF/s. Furthermore, the JUWELS Booster Module comprises 936 nodes each equipped with two AMD EPYC Rome 7402 CPUs with 512 GB DDR memory each and 4 NVIDIA Ampere A100 GPUs. JUWELS provides a total of 87 PFLOPS to its users. Apart from the scientific relevance of the project, applicants must demonstrate that the project can make efficient use of the requested system and can use a large number of processors in parallel for the simulations.

Further Reporting Obligations

Upon request, each project accepts participation in the NIC symposium to present the project in a lecture, a poster session, or in a proceedings contribution. Furthermore, the project accepts to acknowledge the computing time grant in publications related to this project and provides references to these publications. Reports and publication references have to be uploaded at jards.gauss-centre.eu/project
