Opening of the 10th call for proposals of the ETSF network (European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility. ETSF gather 250 theoreticians) for dedicated simulations or specific developments of theory and software code (submission online, deadline 19 April 2012).
New developments of the facility aim at integrating the ETSF in the European network of infrastructures - computing infrastructures as well as experimental facilities. Following an FP7 I3 project implemented with the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, the ETSF is pursuing further collaboration with computing centres through a PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) project that aim to optimize five ETSF codes on highly parallelized machines.
The ETSF has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). A joint call for proposals has been organized with the French Synchrotron SOLEIL, and further collaborations are planned with the Swedish MAX-lab and ESS facilities.
