Greetings Seaborg users, DOE and NERSC have set aside 1 million SP hours to encourage projects to investigate code efficiencies on 64 and more nodes (1,024 + processors) and to encourage running codes on these large node configurations that focus on productive science progress. The 1 million SP hours will be made available, under the conditions below. (1) If your project has codes that have already scaled to 1,024 processors the project is eligible to be reimbursed up to 100,000 SP hours per month for jobs run on 1,024 or more processors. The total reimbursement for such jobs is 750,000 hours. (2) If your project has not yet scaled to 1,024 processors the project is eligible to be reimbursed up to 100,000 SP hours per month for jobs run on 760 or more processors. At least 250,000 hours (of the 1 million currently available) is reserved for projects in this category. Reimbursements will be made towards the beginning of each month so long as you submit a paragraph to NERSC explaining the science results achieved with these large runs. You must also gather performance information for your large runs using the poe+ command; see: http://hpcf.nersc.gov/software/ibm/hpmcount/ To request participation in the reimbursement program send a message to NERSC Consulting explaining briefly what you hope to accomplish by participating in the program: Web: http://help.nersc.gov Email: consult@nersc.gov Sincerely, -- Francesca Verdier email: fverdier@lbl.gov Group Lead, NERSC User Services phone: 510-486-7193
