The LaTeX template / pdf samples internally differentiate between a normal and a short version in case of "whitelist status". For more details, look inside the template/samples.
Whitelist status presupposes that you have an active DFG/BMBF/NHR/GCS or EU project, which includes numerical methods and explicitly describes HPC resource requirements.
Please remember: To proof your whitelist status, you must upload the corresponding reviewed proposal and its review report to the online portal.
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.
