Abstract:
We will describe the Blue Waters system and the PRAC program, which is the primary pathway to obtain an allocation through NSF in the first 1-2 years of operation. We will discuss our plan to support PRAC winners in preparing their applications for Blue Waters, including training, access to application performance simulators and early hardware, and the level of effort to we expect to devote to each application. We will also give potential users some tips on writing a winning proposal.
