DECI workflow
* Experts from home site and exec site will be assigned to each accepted DECI projects. * Home sites will need to arrange the initial meeting (visit/telcon) with the PIs of the accepted DECI projects and explain all the necessary information. * Home sites should report the outcome/progress after the initial meeting with PIs, * Exec sites will inform the DECI users when their assigned systems are available for their usage (after accounts are setup by WP6) * Exec sites should help users to install the software required which are not available on the assigned systems. * Enabling sites should start the enabling assistance as soon as possible and enabling experts should work in the close collaboration with DECI users.

X.509 Certificate
You need a valid certificate that you can use within PRACE: http://www.prace-ri.eu/Certificates-FAQ Currently the easiest way to get such a certificate is to go to https://tcs-escience-portal.terena.org/ and request a Terena e-Science certificate. If your university is connected and your personal identification flag in the universities database is set, you'll get one immediately. Otherwise: any standard X.509 certificate of a CA in the IGTF will do. Please send the DN of the certificate to me afterwards so I can enter this information in our LDAP tree.
SLIDE 5 Ticket Trouble Shooting
- Primary user interface via web-interface:
https://tts.prace-ri.eu/index.html Secondary interface via email: support@prace-ri.eu
- Users should submit their queries to the PRACE TTS
directly (rather than send to a given person).
SLIDE 6 Available user documentation
- PRACE Best Practice Guide:

SLIDE 11 CPU accounting information: DART
- DART http://www.prace-ri.eu/Accounting-Report-Tool
- DART documentation still on DEISA site:
http://www.deisa.eu/usersupport/user-documentation/deisa-accounting-report-tool
- (Not all centers automized yet: data added by hand
- nce a month.)
SLIDE 12 End of Project and Final Report
- The final reports are expected to be submitted within 3
months after the project completion.
– Independent from eventual extensions!! – Template will be provided. (2-4 pages)
- Data should be collected within 3 months after the
project completion.
SLIDE 13 Enabling help
- T7.2-2IP (DECI application support) can provide to help with
enabling/optimising their applicaitons.
– help DECI users to get access to their assigned Tier-1 systems – Providing assistances with porting code to the systems.
- Applications enabling for the accepeted DECI projects which require
more than 1 month enabling work in their applicaiton forms.
– The enabling work is usually 1-6 months which involves performance optimisation, scalability enabling, and other parallelisation related technical work.
- Support if there is any request from DECI projects, as informed by
- WP2. (WP2 is responsible for the DECI projects progress tracking.)
