D7.5.2: Technical requirement for the second Petaflop/s system(s)

The PRACE project has the overall objective of preparing for the creation of a persistent pan-European HPC service. Work package 7 within PRACE is titled "Petaflop/s Systems for 2009/2010" and is responsible for providing technical information to the Management Board to facilitate selection of Petaflop/s production systems in 2009/2010.
Task 7.5 in WP7 is responsible for drafting the technical requirements for Petaflop/s systems that will be used in the procurement process. The key objective of this deliverable is to provide a toolbox of technical elements that can be used flexibly in the procurement of systems for the PRACE research infrastructure. This work complements the procurement process template approach that is being developed by Task 7.6 in WP7.
This document is the second iteration of the task.
