HPCx has recently joined the DEISA supercomputing Grid. DEISA (Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications) is funded by the EU and has access to a large amount of CPU time on these systems - on HPCx, for example, 5% of the total time is reserved for this. All this time is available for researchers to use. You can apply for this time under the DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative (DECI). Under the first call for proposals, projects were accepted with individual CPU requirements of up to several hundreds of thousands of CPU hours. The deadline for the second call is July 15th 2006. We feel that this could be a major benefit for researchers in the UK, and we would like to encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. For details on how to apply see http://www.deisa.eu/applications/. If you would like help or advice in preparing your proposal, please feel free to contact the HPCx Support Team . The latest edition of "Capability Computing", the HPCx newsletter, contains more about DEISA and this offer. You can find it online now, at: http://www.hpcx.ac.uk/about/newsletter/HPCxNews07.pdf See page 14.
