━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Service Start of FY 2023 and the maintenance at the end of the fiscal year
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Our supercomputer service in FY 2022 will be terminated
at 9:00 a.m. on Tue. March 28, 2023, for the maintenance work
at the end of the fiscal year.
Please note that all uncompleted batch jobs at the time of
the service termination will be deleted.
We will start the service of FY 2023 from Mon. May 1, 2023
due to the construction work of the cooling system.
Please note that the service course for System G, cloud system and storage access
will be available from at 10:00 a.m. on Tue. April 4, 2023.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2. Change of the device for the cloud system
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The number of computing nodes currently provided as a cloud system has been used up
and enough nodes cannot be secured.
For this reason, we will change the device (instances on the cloud)
to be used from April 2023 as follows.
Processor: Intel Xeon Gold 6154 3.0GHz 18 cores x 2
Computing performance: 3.45TFlops/node
Memory capacity: 384 GByte
Network: 25Gbps Ethernet
Number of nodes: changed depending on the usage, but around 30 nodes will be secured.
The cloud system is available to anyone who has a user ID
of the Large-Scale Computer Systems.
Cloud system and system A/B/C are highly compatible regarding processors and software.
We hope you will make use of the cloud system as a complement during the period
that the system B/C is suspended in April or
until system A starts operation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We are calling for the application of the service course for FY2023 in the following schedule.

6. Call for Collaborative Research Project for Young/Women scientists for FY2023
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ACCMS calls for proposals of the Collaborative Research Project for scientists
listed below as part of JHPCN activities.
○Young researchers under the age of 40 (including students, regardless of gender)
○Women researchers (regardless of ages)
Submitted proposals are reviewed by "Supercomputer System Collaborative
Research Planning Committee" of ACCMS and a committee of JHPCN,
and some superior proposals are adopted.
ACCMS bears entire or part of the usage fee of the adopted proposals.
Awarded researchers are required to submit a research report
by the end of the fiscal year, to acknowledge their use of this system
when publishing the achievements in papers, and to contribute an article
on their research results to our Center News (Inter-University Services Bulletin).
In addition, we require their cooperation for JHPCN activities
such as a presentation at the JHPCN symposium.
We are scheduled to start operation of the System A officially in October 2023,
and only personal course (Type B) or group course applied for by the applicant
(where the applicant is the only user) will be accepted in this call for applications.

7. Call for Collaborative Research Project for FX700 "Trial Use" and "Small Node Use" for FY2023（Reposting）
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ACCMS calls for proposals of the collaborative research project
for the “Trial Use" and the "Small Node Use" of the Fujitsu FX700
which is equipped with the same ARM processor as the supercomputer Fugaku
for research groups using our supercomputer with the Group Course in the fiscal year 2022.
The "Trial Use" of FX700 is intended to be widely tried by the users of our supercomputer
by making the application form simple.
The research report is also simplified and only operation report and performance report
of the executed application are required.
The collaborative research project for the "Small Node Use" will be adopted
from users who have already finished the operation confirmation of the application
on the "FX700 Trial Use". Submitted proposals are reviewed
by Supercomputer System Collaborative Research Planning Committee.
If your proposal is adopted, you will be required to submit a research report.
There is no cost burden for using this project.
Deadline for application submission: 5:00 p.m. on the 20th of each month
Please see the following URL for details.
