DEISA Extreme computing

Congratulate us! We were just granted 1.5 million CPU hours under the DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative (DECI-6). Citation:

The DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative is aiming at leading, ground breaking applications in selected areas of science and technology dealing with complex, demanding, innovative simulations with a label of excellence from at least one national evaluation committee.

The proposals submitted this year to the DEISA initiative involve researchers from 30 countries - 22 in Europe and eight from the continents of America, Asia, and Australasia. More than half a billion computer-hours have been requested, an over-subscription by a factor of ten.
