In order to promote our application support activities, SCITAS has decided to award dedicated application support time for short term projects (3 to 6 months) on a competitive basis. This specialized support is designed to develop scientific codes to fully take advantage of the current generation of supercomputers (GPUs, Xeon and Xeon Phi) to answer high-impact scientific questions.Manpower will be awarded based on the following criteria:
- High Performance Computing and Data Analytics software development need
- Reproducible computing
- Scientific impact
In order to apply, we ask you to submit a proposal, no longer than 2 pages, with the following content:
- Scientific part
The scientific relevance of the work being done - State of the art
What code is already available, what are the results on some simple test cases. - Targeted code achievements
If the work can be split in independent subparts, please mention it clearly (for example: 1 month at 50% for task A, or 10 person-days during 2 months for task B). - Long term impact
How would this collaboration impact your science in the long term.
Successful projects development will use the Agile Manifesto principles to minimize risks.
This call will be issued twice a year.
Please send your proposal to [email protected].
