Until February 8, you can submit an application to use the advanced computing capacity of the Deucalion supercomputer.
Applications are now open for the 4th Advanced Computing Projects Competition, type A3, aimed at Deucalion supercomputer, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP). Applications for this type of access will be open until February 8, 2024. This type of access is recommended for scientific or innovation projects whose teams have substantial prior experience and require greater resources.
This competition represents a unique opportunity for researchers, scientists, and institutions across the country to submit proposals that leverage the advanced computing capacity of the Deucalion supercomputer. With exceptional processing power, Deucalion becomes a valuable tool for projects that require significant computing power, such as complex simulations, large data set analysis, and advanced research in various fields.
Applications are open to all fields of knowledge, from biology and medicine to physics, engineering, and social sciences. Projects will be evaluated based on criteria such as originality of the proposal, relevance to the scientific community, and efficient use of supercomputer resources.
To participate, interested parties must submit their proposals through FCT online platform, ensuring that they meet all the requirements established in regulation. Project selection will be carried out by panels of national and international experts with proven experience in the scientific areas of the submitted projects.
The announcement of selected projects is expected to take place in May 2024.
For all interested, there will be a online information session on January 31st at 12pm about this contest, focused on access to Deucalion. The Registration to attend is mandatory and is available online.
To date, 31 projects have been approved in the first batch of applications, in typologies A0 (Experimental Access) and A1 (Access for development). Applications for these typologies remains open until May 30, 2024.
