Description

To remain competitive, scientific communities require access to Tier-0 resources adapted to their needs. EuroHPC presents an opportunity for PRACE to further serve science by establishing a new community access mode in addition to the existing resource allocation modes. Towards this goal, the PRACE council established a working group to produce a PRACE white paper on community access. 

Lattice QCD is proposed as one of the communities that needs large computational resources. In order that the European lattice QCD community benefits from community access we need to co-ordinate our activity and be properly represented. The meeting, open to all in the European lattice community with interest in large-scale numerical simulation aims to start a broad discussion of the opportunities EuroHPC creates and how to best organise to maximise the benefits of Exascale for our scientific projects.
 
The workshop is supported by the LatticeHadrons network of the STRONG-2020 Integrating Activity for Advanced Communities.
 
Anyone interested is welcome to attend. There is no fee for attendance. Please register using the link below if you intend to come to the meeting. 
 
As the meeting is taking place during the teaching semester, on-campus accommodation is limited. The College is located in the centre of Dublin so there are many hotels close to the campus. A few suggestions are listed here. Frequent buses to the city centre run from the airport. 
 
Online participation is available in a zoom meeting
