CINECA - ICARUS2 Project

Intensive Computing for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research of EUropean
Scientists

1996/97 CALL FOR CANDIDATURES
( First Call Deadline: September 30 ,1996)

Short presentation of the ICARUS2 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 (at least 25) from
September 1996 through August 1998 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 128 nodes IBM SP/2 32 Nodes IBM S/390-9672
ACS 4400
-Automatic Cartridge System CINECA communication network
The laboratory of scientific visualization The on-line documentation
and information service.

Candidates are requested to fill and mail the enclosed form with
information about
the research project they aim to pursue while they are at
Cineca Supercomputing Centre, the duration of the stay and the estimated
supercomputing resources they will need.
European Union citizens of the following countries are eligible :
Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg,Portugal, Spain, The
Netherlands,United Kingdom and Austria, Finland, Sweden. And those coming
from the associated
countries to the TMR programme : Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway. Italian
citizens are eligible only under
