Subject:	Franklin Large Scale Reimbursement program open to all projects
Author:	Francesca Verdier <fverdier_at_lbl.gov>

Dear MPP users, Franklin has been up for seven days now, which we hope is the start of a good trend. Since the machine has been lightly loaded NERSC has decided to open the Large Scale Reimbursement program to all projects; previously it was open only to projects that hadn't previously scaled. To be eligible you must have codes that can run efficiently on 2,416 or more cores. This number corresponds to 1/8th of the computational cores, and NERSC has to meet the DOE metric that at least 40% of the time used on Franklin is by jobs running on 1/8th or more of its cores. To apply: send email to consult_at_nersc_dot_gov and briefly explain what science results you expect this program will help you achieve. Projects enrolled in this program will be reimbursed for 2,416+ core jobs on a first run first reimbursed basis until the 26 million hours in the program are exhausted, and with a cap of 2 million hours per project. Sincerely, -- Francesca Verdier email: fverdier@lbl.gov Department Head, NERSC Services phone: 510-486-7193
