Both the LaTeX template and the pdf samples internally differentiate between a normal and a short version in case of "whitelist status". For more details look inside the templattemplate/samples.
Please avoid:
- Imprecise or incomprehensible estimation of requested computational resources (especially core-hours); for example, missing arguments to justify a certain number of N runs instead of a smaller number. One page is our recommended minimum.
- No proof, that the software to be used is suitable and efficient for parallel execution (and parallel I/O) on our current HPC systems architecture. Recycling a scalability demo by a third party is meaningless, without showing that your planned production run is fully comparable to it (algorithm selection within the software, I/O pattern, machine architecture, problem size per core).
- The overall aim and/or motivation behind the project is unclear.
- The applicant lacks HPC/Unix skills and an experienced co-applicant is missing.
- Insufficiency of the applicant's local resources is not indicated.
- The NHR and/or HLRN was not mentioned in relevant publications.
- Cut & paste of previous proposals.
