SUMMARY:Discovery Center for Accelerated Application Readiness (CAAR) – C
 all for Proposals
DESCRIPTION:The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) is accepting
  proposals for Center for Accelerated Application Readiness (CAAR) partner
 ship projects to prepare modeling and simulation, data-intensive, workflow
 , and AI applications for highly effective use on the OLCF system to be na
 med Discovery that will arrive in 2028. Applications with limited GPU-ac
 celeration capabilities and/or limited scalability are also invited to app
 ly. An information webinar for this call will be held on February 16, 202
 6. Please review the slides and recording below for more information from 
 a prior webinar if interested. Resources Available to TeamsThe accepted p
 rojects will have access to the following resources:Direct OLCF assistance
  with code profiling, optimization, and porting to Discovery. This include
 s OLCF staff and postdocs.Support from the ORNL HPE / AMD Center of Excell
 ence staffAllocation of compute resources on Frontier and early hardware r
 esourcesEarly access to DiscoveryTraining sessions and hackathonsTeam Resp
 onsibilitiesSelected teams will be responsible for:Providing a challenge p
 roblem that they intend to perform on DiscoveryFormulating a Figure of Mer
 it (FOM), measuring the FOM on Frontier, and providing an acceleration pla
 n to achieve at least 5X improvements on DiscoveryDesignating a point of c
 ontact for their code team (committing a recommended minimum of 0.5 Full-T
 ime Equivalent (FTE) of effort per year on CAAR and related accelerator fo
 cused application-performance activities)Producing mid-project reports (su
 bject to review)Producing a final report detailing the challenge problem a
 nd FOM results on Discovery  Signing a non-disclosure agreement at the s
 tart of the CAAR projectEvaluation ProcessSubmissions will be evaluated on
