This document will describe the work done under the PRACE-4IP extension. This task is dedicated to provide useful information on application *performance and energy usage* on next generation systems on the path towards exacsale. It will be caried out running the accelerated UEABS on PCP systems to obtain energy metrics on *OpenPower+GPU, Xeon Phi and FPGA*.
Organisation is publicly available to anyone interrested in the project and rely on the following tools:
* a slack channel for chat purpose: `PRACE PCP slack channel`_ , ask `Victor Cameo Ponz`_ for registration link.
* a mailing list: prace-4ip-wp7.extension@fz-juelich.de, subscribe here: `mailing list registration page`_.
The following methodology will be followed to lead this task:
#. white paper indicating what applications will be run on which prototypes (meeting the PRACE milestone **M7.6 due by August 2017/M4**)
#. grant access to machines (cut off September 2017 )
#. run benchmarks (cut off October/November)
#. gather results and report *Applications Performance and Energy Usage* (this adresses the PRACE deliverable **D7.7 due by December 2017/M8**)

PCP systems description and registration process
------------------------------------------------
This section describes the systems where BCOs have been granted access.
The table :ref:`table-pcp-systems` sums up the when registration process starts:
+--------------+--------------+----------------------------+---------------+-----------------------------+
| Technology | Theoretical | Manufacturer | Host | Availability |
| | peak perf | | | |
+==============+==============+============================+===============+=============================+
| Power8 + GPU | 877 TFlop/s | `E4 computer engineering`_ | CINECA_ (It) | Start migration of nodes to |
| | | | | CINECA in June/July 2017 |
+--------------+--------------+----------------------------+---------------+-----------------------------+
| Xeon Phi | 512 TFlop/s | `Atos/Bull`_ | CINES_ (Fr) | June 2017 |
+--------------+--------------+----------------------------+---------------+-----------------------------+
