Dear NERSC Project Managers, I'm afraid I left off a sentence in the Call I sent out last night. The online version is still the best place to read the Call: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/allocations/piletter05.php The start of the Call should have been: The DOE Office of Science solicits proposals for large allocations of computing resources at NERSC for the period December 1, 2004 through November 30, 2005. In addition, computing resources are being made available to the Office of Science allocation process from PNNL's Molecular Science Computing Facility MSCF (<http://mscf.emsl.pnl.gov/>). The deadline for submitting proposals is midnight, Wednesday September 1, 2004. 2005 allocations will be made for the following Office of Science resources: 1. Seaborg <http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/resources/SP/>, an IBM Power3 SP at NERSC with 6,080 computational processors. 2. A new computational machine at NERSC. This new system is expected to deliver at least 15% of the performance of Seaborg. The target workload is the set of codes that have problems scaling efficiently on Seaborg and which are typically run on 32 to 256 Seaborg processors. 55.5 million SP3-equivalent hours will be allocated for both Seaborg and the new system. The two systems will share a common allocation. 3. MPP2, an HP Itanium-2 Linux system at the Molecular Science Computing Facility (MSCF) at Pacific Northwest National Lab. MPP2 has 1,960 processors. Five percent of the MPP2 resources (730,000 raw hours) will be allocated by the Office of Science. The rest of the time is allocated directly by the MSCF. 4. HPSS, NERSC's Mass Storage System. 14 million Storage Resource Units will be allocated. Sincerely, -- Francesca Verdier email: fverdier@lbl.gov Group Lead, NERSC User Services phone: 510-486-7193
