New call for proposal for the Slovak scientific community: access to Leonardo supercomputer<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The Leonardo Consortium, composed of six European countries led by Italy, procured and in November 2022 put into operation the currently sixth most powerful supercomputer in the world \u00a0<\/a>Slovakia, as one of the consortium members, provides its expertise in the field of HPC through the Computing Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and offers high-level technical and engineering support to user communities. Thanks to this collaboration, Slovak users have a unique opportunity to participate in a national call and gain access to the Leonardo system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supercomputer Leonardo has a performance of approximately 250 PFlop\/s, with a total allocation available for Slovak projects being 56,000 GPU node-hours and 25,000 CPU node-hours per year. Therefore, in collaboration with the National Supercomputing Center, the Computing Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences is opening the first call for proposals to access Leonardo's computing resources.<\/strong>Given the size of the allocation, support will be provided to a smaller number of projects, primarily those that require simultaneous utilization of a large number of computing nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access is open to all fields of science and research, and eligible applicants are from Slovak public universities or institutions of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Supported projects should enable progress and innovation in their chosen area, with added value for addressing societal and\/or technological challenges in Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications used in projects should be thoroughly tested, demonstrating high efficiency and scalability on HPC systems or the need for extensive simulations that require a significant amount of CPU\/GPU time. These should be highly parallelized applications capable of efficiently utilizing the available resources, the allocation of which would be challenging on the current national HPC infrastructureDevana supercomputer \u00a0<\/a>). The computational power requirement and resource utilization must be clearly and comprehensively described in the proposal. You can find the specifications of individual Leonardo modules HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The call is open until January 31, 2024. Evaluation and selected projects will be published two weeks after the deadline, and successful applicants will be informed about the next steps via email. Individual projects will be evaluated by the expert staff of VS SAV and NSCC with regard to scientific contribution and the most efficient use of computing capacities. Projects with a maximum duration of 12 months can be submitted through the user portal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before submitting an application, we ask interested parties to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the\u00a0conditions of this call.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
