Application Guideline of Collaborative Research Project for Large-Scale Computation for FY 2024 (2nd Period)

Overview

Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies, Kyoto University (ACCMS) calls for proposals of the Collaborative Research Project for Large-Scale Computation for the fiscal year 2024. This call is designed for the Personal Course users or the research groups who use our supercomputer system through the Group Course in FY 2024 (including those who are in application process). Submitted proposals are reviewed by "Supercomputer System Collaborative Research Planning Committee" of the ACCMS. As for the adopted proposals, the adopted users and the faculty members of the ACCMS will conduct the joint research and the ACCMS bears the usage fee of the large-scale job course within a certain amount.
The usage period of this call is from July 2024 to September 2024.

Eligibility

• The applicant must be the Personal Course users or the research groups who use our supercomputer system through the Group Course (including the groups in use of Organization Fixed Rate, Joint Usage/Research Center for Interdisciplinary Large-scale Information Infrastructures(JHPCN) or High Performance Computing Infrastructure(HPCI)) in FY 2024 (including those who are in application process).
• Academic and technical results must be expected by conducting the Large-Scale Computation in the large-scale job course.

Requirements

• For adopted proposals, the ACCMS bears a certain amount of usage fees of the large-scale job course within the amount of resources and the period specified by the ACCMS. The amount of resources and the period will be determined based on the requested value on the application documents. Maximum value is 64 nodes × 2 weeks in Type A and 24 nodes × 2 weeks in Type B. When the amount of resources is small, the period can be extended such as 32 nodes × 1 week × 4 times in Type A. The period of use of each time shall be on a weekly basis and the duration and the timing of the consecutive use will be determined by the ACCMS in coordination with the user of the adopted proposal.

• We hold a reviewing on an application of the research project in May 2024.
• In reviewing, we place emphasis on a research that will develop into super large-scale computation in the future or a research that will be collaborated with the ACCMS.
• We will refer to the execution status of the large-scale jobs, research results or publishing of the adopted proposals for the reviews of the collaborative research projects in the next fiscal year or later.
