3. Requested resources

1. Resource usage (in English)*:
Convincingly describe how your application can make efficient use of the requested resources.

Specify and describe the software that will be used. Unless it is center provided, specify how it is parallelized, and how well and to what extent it scales for the problem sizes that will be studied.
Motivate your answers to the system-specific questions given in the "Software and job information" section below. That is, motivate your estimate of typical and maximal number of cores per job, the memory requirements, per core, per node or aggregated as adequate for the particular resource and parallelization scheme. Also specify the amount and type of storage requested, i.e., fast temporary storage during job execution, short-term storage, and long-term/archiving storage.
If you have any other specific software and hardware requirements, please include them as well.

2. Resource requested*:

Platform	Requested time		Requested project duration in months
Kappa:		core hours/month
Neolith:		core hours/month
Mass Storage:	N/A

4. Co-investigators

Please name co-investigators involved with the project. There is enough space for a maximum of five. If you fill in any field for a co-investigator, all the required fields must be filled in.
