GCS 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 currently classified as "large-scale", if they require at least 25,000 node-h on Hunter, (100 Mcore-h on Hawk), or 45,000 EFLOP on JUWELS, or 45 Mcore-h on SuperMUC-NG. These values correspond to 2% of the systems’ annual production in terms of estimated availability. The call for GCS Large-Scale Projects is issued twice a year and approved projects start on 1 May and 1 November, respectively.

Outcome of the GCS Exascale Pioneer Call

The JUPITER Research and Early Access Program (JUREAP) ensures the smooth launch of the first European exascale supercomputer, JUPITER. The GCS Exascale Pioneer Call provides sufficient computing time for selected projects to enable groundbreaking research for the German scientific community. The computing time resources are twofold: On the one hand, this call distribute resources after JUPITER is officially operational until the end of October 2025. On the other hand, it guarantees successful projects early access to JUPITER during build-up.
