*Call for Proposals to the AAL Supercomputer Time Allocation Committee
(ASTAC) Large Program   *



*Applications close Friday 31 July 2020, 5 PM AWST. Late applications will

Astronomy Australia Limited (AAL) has purchased 20 million service units
(MSU) per year (over the next two years) on Gadi, the new Fujitsu system at
the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI).



AAL is inviting proposals from the Australian astronomical community for
use of this time. A competitive review process will be overseen by the AAL
Supercomputer Time Allocation Committee (ASTAC). This is the first of two
calls for supercomputing time proposals (AAL will issue a second call in
2021).



Please see the attached PDF for more detail.



*Please note: The minimum request for this call will be 4 MSU, and all
projects that are awarded time are expected to be able to use at least 240
cores (5 Gadi nodes) in parallel.*
