Submission Deadline – September 20, 2014

Individual researchers and teams are invited to submit proposals for projects investigating the impact of the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor(s), the large amounts of memory per CPU core, and/or the use of parallel SSD storage on areas of interest to their particular field of study. Projects involving high-performance computing (HPC) applications in fields such as biology, economics, social sciences, and other non-traditional HPC domains are especially encouraged, as are projects associated with data-intensive computing and data-driven workflows. While Beacon is primarily a development cluster, projects involving production runs at small scale are welcome.  To read further, please visit https://www.jics.tennessee.edu/aace/beacon/open-call. Each proposal should be submitted as a single PDF file to beaconproposal@nics.tennessee.edu.
