Request access to Abacus 2.0 for the period November 2016 \u2013 February 2017 Call for Access Researchers from all universities in Denmark can request access to HPC processing power on Abacus 2.0 for research projects with a strong emphasis on high-performance large-scale computing. Access to the facility is not free.<\/p>\n For researchers the rates per July 1, 2016 are:<\/p>\n \u2022Slim: 1,90 DKK \/ node hour (~ 0,08 DKK \/ CPU core hour) All our nodes have 24 CPU cores, i.e., if you want the rate per CPU core, you should divide all prices by 24.<\/p>\n Access to Abacus 2.0 will be given to individual researchers or research groups via a Principal Investigator (PI).<\/p>\n Proposers for any kind of allocation schemes must hold at least the position of postdoc within their institution. PhD students cannot apply on their own, but must instead do so in consultation with, and under the auspices of, their supervisor.<\/p>\n Request access here.<\/p>\n Call of interest for National eScience Pilot Projects A national eScience pilot project is granted up to eight hours of technical support and 1.000 compute node hours.<\/p>\n For applications please see here.<\/p>\n Did you notice? We have a new website! Please take time to check out our new website and get familiar with it.<\/p>\n We are looking for people who want to share their experience of doing research and applications in HPC on Abacus 2.0. If you are interested please contact the HPC coordinator, Wendy Engelberts.<\/p>\n It is possible to visit Abacus 2.0. If you are interested please let us know by filling in a form on our website.<\/p>\n DeIC Conference 2016 When: October 4-5, 2016 Second National Supercomputing Day – Scientific applications of High Performance Computing When: Monday, November 7, 2016 at 9 AM \u2013 4 PM Training Calendars The Nordic e-Infrastructure Cooperation has a NeIC training Calendar, which includes both NeIC training and stakeholder training wich NeIC either participates in or simply wants to advertise.<\/p>\n This month a new NeIC project will be launched called the CodeRefinery Project. The goal of this project is to establish a software development e-infrastructure coupled with necessary technical expertise and extensive training activities in order to address the growing needs of computational communities. Follow the project on coderefinery.org and github.com\/coderefinery!<\/p>\n ISC 2017 conference The Research Paper Sessions will be held from Monday, June 19, through Wednesday, June 21, 2017. ISC High Performance (ISC 2017) will once again be held at Forum Messe Frankfurt.<\/p>\n All accepted research papers will be published in the Springer\u2019s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series : http:\/\/www.springer.com\/lncs<\/a>. For the camera-ready version, authors are automatically granted one extra page to incorporate reviewer comments. The publication is free of charge and the published papers can be downloaded from Springer\u2019s website for a limited time after the conference. The proceedings are indexed in the ISI Web of Science, EI Engineering Index, ACM Digital Library, dblp, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus, and Zentralblatt MATH.<\/p>\n Submitted research papers will be reviewed by the ISC 2017 Research Papers Committee, which is headed by Dr. Pavan Balaji of Argonne National Laboratory, with Prof. Dr. David Keyes from KAUST acting as Deputy Chair and Dr. Julian Kunkel from Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum as Proceedings Chair and Dr. Rio Yokota of Tokyo Institute of Technology as Proceedings Deputy Chair.<\/p>\n Awards<\/p>\n The ISC organizers along with the German Gauss Center for Supercomputing will again sponsor the Research Paper Sessions with two awards for outstanding research papers. The Hans Meuer Award and the GAUSS Award details are available at http:\/\/www.isc-hpc.com\/awards.html.<\/p>\n Areas of Interest<\/p>\n The Research Papers Committee encourages submission of high-quality papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental and industrial R&D in these four areas:<\/p>\n Architectures & Networks<\/p>\n \u2022 Future design concepts of HPC systems Data, Storage & Visualization<\/p>\n \u2022 From big data to smart data Applications & Algorithms<\/p>\n \u2022 Scalability on future architectures Programming Models & Systems Software<\/p>\n \u2022 The art of parallel programming Note: Submissions on other innovative aspects of high performance computing are also welcome. Submitters will be asked to pick a primary and a second track for their submission.<\/p>\n Please refer to http:\/\/www.isc-hpc.com\/research-papers.html<\/a> for full submission guidelines.<\/p>\n Contact: MORE INFORMATION AND NEWS Please visit our NEW website: https:\/\/abacus.deic.dk\/<\/a><\/p>\n Follow us on Twitter: @AbacusSDU<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this newsletter: Request access to Abacus 2.0 for the period November 2016 \u2013 February 2017 Did you notice?
