PRACE Preparatory Access Call for Tier-0
CINECA invites all interested scientists, whose projects fit the criteria of the PRACE call, to submit their projects.
Preparatory access is intended for testing and developing codes in order to prepare applications for PRACE Tier-0 project access.
Preparatory Access Type C includes code development with support from PRACE experts.
The next cut-off date is September 7th, 2015.

PRACE call: big success of the Italian scientific community
The 11th PRACE Regular Call for Proposals yielded 107 eligible proposals of which 18 were awarded for a total of more than 500 million core hours. The 18 awarded projects are led by P. I. from 7 different European countries.
6 awarded projects have PI from Italy (33% of projects) for a total of 260 million core hours (50% of hours).
FERMI for 3 years among the highest positions in the TOP500
The Italian supercomputer FERMI, IBM Blue Gene/Q, is now number 32 in the June 2015 Top500 list.
Fermi, available to the Italian and European scientific community by ISCRA and PRACE, was installed at Cineca in June 2012.
Two Cineca systems, FERMI and Galileo, are ranked in the list.
THOR selected as candidate for ESA’s next mission
THOR, the Turbulence Heating ObserveR, is a mission proposal in response to ESA M4 call to address one of the most fundamental but also one of the least understood physical processes in the universe: turbulent energy dissipation and particle energization.
THOR uses the HVM (hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell) fully parallelized code, that for over 10 years runs on the Fermi @ CINECA.
Galileo login nodes temporarily not available
Dear users, we are still experiencing some issues in the connection to Galileo front-ends. Our system administrators are working to stabilize their availability but the connection is not guaranteed in […]
