For the first time, successful proposals in the 18th PRACE Call for proposals for project access will have the opportunity to use Fenix computing resources provided by the ICEI project, as part of a pilot. The PRACE call for proposals is open from 4 September to 30 October 2018.
“We are pleased to announce that ICEI is giving scientists access to world-class computing and data infrastructure in the current PRACE call,” says Dirk Pleiter, ICEI project coordinator. “This marks the first step towards a close collaboration between PRACE and ICEI”.
