The Parallelisation Channel Sample Clauses

The Parallelisation Channel. The Parallelisation Service, which is currently under development at the time of writing, will provide support to end users in their initial steps towards parallelising existing serial applications and deploying them on HPC resources. The Service itself is preparing to launch, once the necessary Terms & Conditions, Data Policies and SLAs are agreed, completed, and published on our website. End users may submit requests for their serial applications to be parallelised via the Parallelisation Channel within the CoP, or via the various, multiple CompBioMed contact email addresses, webforms, face-to-face contacts, etc. Applicants will then be asked to complete a detailed application form, outlining the source code, the necessary input files and the expected output files, and any data security issues that may arise. This application form will also be available in a simpler form via a webform within our website. New end users will be gathered via Task 2.4 ”Emergent Community Application Support”, which is the initial point of contact for all end users, i.e., both external users and both Core and Associate Partners, in their initial steps towards parallelisation of existing applications and deployment on HPC resources). Thereafter, the effort to parallelise these applications will be provided by T4.3 ”Optimising Biomedical Application Usage of Current and emerging e- Infrastructures”. The main source of engaging with new users will be managed by Task 2.4. One platform of engagement will be the parallelisation channel within the CoP, following the process established by the scalability channel. Over the following months we plan to provide industrial- strength exemplars, outlining how medical applications have been empowered by exploiting HPC. Other methods of engagement will involve contacting medics and hospital-based Core and Associate Partners, with a view to discuss their current application usage, particularly the more computationally intensive, if computation could be performed remotely at an HPC centre or if HPC resources are available on-site. We will also exploit the External Expert Advisory Board contacts, who are typically well connected to practicing medics with heavy computational requirements, to gather new end users. T4.5 is currently collating an extensive list of partnerships and collaborations (both active and potential) provided by each of the Core Partners, and this list presents a rich source of potential end users. Finally, T2.4 members will ...
