ISCRA calls

Access to Pico is granted through the ISCRA calls as Class C projects.

ISCRA (Italian SuperComputing Resource Allocation, http://iscra.cineca.it/) offers two regular calls per year. The resources are assigned on the scientific value, based on an independent peer-review system.  To apply for the ISCRA call the PI must operate in an Italian research centre but the collaborators can be from every European country.

Class C projects are received through continuous submission and reviewed once per month (no peer-review). An average period of about 15 days is required for activating the project. For each user it is allowed to have only one class C project each 6 months as PI. The maximum duration is 9 months.
