Due to a technical problem on the IT4Innovations side with the reception of applications, the sections of the Special Call are divided into two parts.

We would like to thank all applicants for computation time within the Special Call: GPU Testing and Benchmarking of the 26^th Open Access Grant Competition.

A total of 78 400 nodehours of the GPU accelerated part of the Karolina supercomputer were requested of the first allocation period. Considering productive use to the resources, the allocation committee reviewed the results of the technical evaluations.

The Allocation Commission based the allocation decisions on computational readiness. In view of the high interest in computing resources, the Commission has decided in some cases to reduce allocations proportionally.

The Allocation Commission acknowledged high technical level of the submitted projects. From the maximum score of 5 points, the projects averaged 4. 5 of the projects achieved full 5 points.

In the first part, among the 15 projects, a total of 66 800 nodehours of the GPU accelerated part of the Karolina supercomputer were allocated.
