GCS test project on SuperMUC-NG
Features
- Simplified application: Only abstract needed (up to 1,000 characters)
- Can last up to 24 months
- Rolling call: applications can be sent throughout the year
- Fast review process
- Budget of 300,000 core hours:
- compile your application
- test if your applicaton works
- perform scaling tests (needed for regular and large scale applications) - The goal of a test project should be to demonstrate that the code runs on at least 816 cores (17 nodes) per job (minimum for general queue)
Please note: GCS test projects can be converted to GCS regular projects or GCS large scale projects. A new application process is needed in both cases!
Application process
The image shows the process of applying for a GCS test project on SuperMUC-NG. All applications for projects on SuperMUC are managed through the GCS-JARDS tool, hosted by GCS, the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing.
After finalizing your application within the GCS-JARDS website, you will be asked to print out and sign the "Principal Investigator’s Agreement for Access to HPC resources". Scan the signed document and email it to HPC-Benutzerverwaltung@lrz.de.
Once your project is approved, your SuperMUC-NG project will be created by LRZ. GCS-JARDS is used to manage the review process, collect status reports, final reports, dissemination material, and to manage project extensions.
