General announcements

Messages from the Psi-k trustees and other topics of relevance to the Psi-k community, e.g. community-led software codes or databases…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

MaX - Materials design at the exascale (http://www.max-centre.eu) is a European Centre of Excellence that works at the frontiers of the current and future High Performance Computing (HPC) technologies, to enable the best use and evolution of HPC for materials research and innovation.  MaX supports developers and end users of advanced applications in the field of materials in various ways, including training and mentoring initiatives.

Among these, MaX offers the possibility to host academic researchers in its partner laboratories for collaboration/training periods on specific research projects or on new developments in the codes supported by the CoE. Visits can be hosted at the following institutions (teams):  CNR Modena (E. Molinari) or Roma (A. Marini), SISSA  Trieste (S. Baroni), ICN2  Barcelona (P. Ordejon), FZ Jülich (S. Blügel, D. Pleiter), EPFL Lausanne (N. Marzari), CINECA  Bologna (C. Cavazzoni),  ETH/CSCS (T. Schulthess),  KTH Stockholm (E. Laure),  BSC Barcelona (J. Cela), ICTP Unesco Trieste (I. Girotto). 

Researchers and PhD students who are interested in obtaining support can apply to the HPC-Europa3 (HPCE3) programme to receive funding for travel, accommodation, and subsistence. HPCE3 will also provide an amount of computing time suitable for the approved project. The next deadline to submit an HPCE3 application is February 28, 2018 (results announced in April 2018). Further deadlines are planned on 17 May, 6 September and 15 November 2018. Please note that HPCE3 support is available only for destinations in HPCE3 partner countries.
