5. 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 2023.

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.
