Rules for Status and Final Reports

Report Obligation

According to the regulations of the SuperMUC steering committee, each project should submit Status Reports every 12 months and a Final Report within 3 months after the end of the project.

Type of reports

Status report

Status reports should be submitted every 12 months. They should be 4-10 pages. For outline, content and template, please see the template files below.

Final report

Final reports should be submitted within 3 months after the end of the project. The final report consists of two deliverables:

  • The final status report of your project (4-10 page):
    For outline, content and template, please see the template files below.
  • Dissemination material (max 2. pages):
    We need to present the scientific work achieved on SuperMUC to the public. This is done by featuring selected projects on the website of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing, GCS (see http://www.gauss-centre.eu). Additionally, the dissemination material from selected projects is included in the SuperMUC results book that is published every two years (see https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/supermuc/magazinesbooks/).
    The template files below contain detailled instructions.

Publication of the reports

Template files

The template files include the required document structure as well as all the information needed to write the report. Choose the template that best suits you (DOC for MS Word, ODT for LibreOffice, or PDF to see the document structure if you want to use LaTeX or any other software).

Zip file with the template files for the SuperMUC status report.

Zip file with the template files for the dissemination material.

Upload of reports

Once you are finished writing your report and/or dissemination material, please create a PDF version of the document (the PDF is needed for the archive).

If your document contains figures: We need those figures as high-resolution, separate files (min. 1000x1000 pixel). We need separate high resolution images to adequately present your project on the website of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing and in the SuperMUC results book.

Please create a tgz or zip-file, including the original doc, odt, or tex files, and separate figures.

Collection of status reports, final reports, and dissemination material is now handled by GCS-JARDS:

  • If you want to upload a status report, final report, or dissemination material to an ongoing or finished project, please log-in to GCS-JARDS and choose "Project" (direct link to GCS-JARDS Project).
  • A status report is also needed if you want to extend your project. In this case, log-in to GCS-JARDS, in the left column under "Application", select the correspoding compute time call (is your project a GCS large scale project, or a GCS regular or test project?), find your project and click "extend". Follow the 7 step procedure to extend your project and upload your status report at step 6 "upload files".
