1996 CALL FOR CANDIDATURES
(1996 Call Deadlines : August 31, 1995;
November 30, 1995; February 28, 1996; May 31, 1996)
Short presentation of the ICARUS project
CINECA, a consortium made up of 13 Italian universities, has been
appointed,
because of its large-scale scientific and technical facilities, as a centre
for the
application of supercomputing in interdisciplinary research activities. To
this
purpose CINECA will host Researchers (up to an equivalent of 144
man/months) from January 1994 through December 1996 so that European
Researchers may make use of the resources and services here available.
Scientific activities and policy of use of CINECA's supercomputing
facilities of EC
Researchers will be agreed with an International Scientific Committee.
With regard to the supercomputing aspect of the project, CINECA will
provide
hosted European Researchers with training, vector and parallel
supercomputing
facilities, access to scientific visualisation laboratory and to on-line
information
service. The Researchers will be provided with the support of CINECA
experts
for the best use of resources available. Hosted Reasearchers will be
supported by
the project for travel and accomodation expenses too.
The usability of the service provided by CINECA is guaranteed by a
capillary and
powerful network of data transmission. Cinecanet, in fact, is joined to the
High-
speed GARR Network (the Italian research communication network). This will
allow European Researchers to continue using CINECA's facilities from home
institution, when they will come back home.
The researchers to be hosted can count on the availability of:
CRAY C92/2128 CRAY T3D with 64 nodes IBM S/390-9672
VAX 6000-510
ACS 4400 -Automatic Cartridge System CINECA communication network
The laboratory of scientific visualization The on-line documentation
and
information service.
