[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Supercomputer accounts.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, We just got allocated 20,000 hours in the supercomputer: mainly for the fuel cell project, but also for our research in case that "Clandestino" is not good enough. I would need for everybody that is interested in creating an account (I expect at least Sule and Laura to get one, of course) to fill out the form below with the PI (me) and repository name (m702). Please give them to me next week (I will be back from Thursday on) so we can fax them to NERSC. The faster we use this startup award, the better (paradoxically) so they can upgrade us to a "real" supercomputer account with hundreds of thousands of hours rather than 20,000. Cheers, Alan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: fverdier(a)lbl.gov <fverdier(a)lbl.gov> Date: Feb 9, 2007 2:21 PM Subject: NERSC 2007 Startup Allocation Award To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Dear Alan Aspuru-Guzik, NERSC is pleased to announce that you have received an Allocation Year 2007 Startup award for your ERCAP request 82088, titled: "Computational study of hydrogen transport in polymer electrolyte membranes embedded in nanopores.". AY 2007 runs from January 9, 2007 through January 7, 2008. Your MPP award is: 20,000 SP hours for repository m702 Your HPSS award is: 3,000 SRUs for repository m702 Startup awards are valid for up to 18 months (although they need to be renewed for a new allocation year), after which time you must apply for a DOE production award. If you anticipate needing large amounts of time and are not currently funded by the Office of Science you should consider applying; see their Grants and Contracts website at: http://www.sc.doe.gov/production/grants/grants.html To add new users to your repository click the "My Stuff" menu in NIM's top left main menu and select "Add/Revive User". More info on NIM is below. Please acknowledge NERSC in your publications of work resulting from the use of NERSC resources: "This research used resources of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, which is supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231." Information related to NERSC users, accounts, and allocations is available in the NERSC Information Management (NIM) system. Please read the PI Guide to NIM: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/nim/users_manual/forpis.php You access NIM at http://nim.nersc.gov using your NERSC login name and NIM password (as you did to make your allocation request). Note that users new to NERSC are required to sign and return the Computer Use Policies form. No user account can be activated until this is done. The form is at: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/usage.pdf Also note that it is against NERSC policy to share usernames and passwords; each user must have her or his own user account. See: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/owners.php If your permanent (home directory) space requirements are over 5 gigabytes your project should apply for a project directory; see: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/resources/NGF/ We rely on our website: http://www.nersc.gov/ for informing NERSC users of changes that occur as well as for general NERSC documentation. We also use email lists to inform users of changes. Some lists are created automatically for all active users; the most important communications are sent to these lists. We encourage you to join the NERSC Users Group email list, nug. See: http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/services/email-lists.php We look forward to working with you.

Please come join us or invite a colleague to our next ABCD-FLASH meeting Thursday, February 15: *Flash Physics Simulations* by James Battat (Ph.D candidate in Astronomy) and Aaron Gibralter ('07, Physics concentrator) As part of a Presidential Instructional Technology Fellowship (PITF) summer project we have developed a suite of interactive mechanical physics simulations for the course Engineering Sciences 125: Mechanical Systems. Physical systems can exhibit complex behavior. With the use of computer simulations, it is possible to teach students about the nature of these systems without trudging through complicated differential equations. We found that several canned animations demonstrating physical phenomena existed on the web, but we noticed a surprising lack of full-up interactive physics simulation engines in Flash. We aimed to fill that void by developing a virtual physics lab using Flash (ActionScript 2.0). We modeled our work on the open-source Java project at www.MyPhysicsLab.com. We'll tell you about our class-based project, demo our simulations, and explain how various components of our software (e.g. a graphing package) could be useful to other projects. In addition, we encourage you to use and/or further develop this software. The interactive simulations can be seen at: http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/~jbattat/pitf/engin125/<http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/%7Ejbattat/pitf/engin125/> With your attendance to our meetings, you are eligible to enter a raffle to win an Adobe application (valued up to $2100). *Lunch will be provided - pizza, drinks* *When:* Thursday, February 15 from 12:15pm to 1:45pm *Where:* Lamont Forum Room of the Lamont Library (wheelchair accessible).

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] IIC Seminar Reminder - Eamonn Keogh on Feb. 14, 2007

by Helene Tingle

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Seminar Series Wednesday, February 14, 2007; 4:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 Eamonn Keogh, Associate Professor, Computer Science & Engineering Department, University of California – Riverside Seminar Title: Algorithms and Representations for Mining Massive Collections of Time Series and Shapes Abstract To date, the vast majority of research on time series and shape data mining has focused on similarity search and clustering. I believe that these problems should now be regarded as essentially solved. In particular, there are now fast exact techniques for searching and clustering patterns under both the Euclidean distance and Dynamic Time Warping, the two most useful distance measures. However, from a knowledge discovery viewpoint, there are much more interesting problems, the detection of previously unknown patterns and relationships in time series and shape databases. Two concrete examples are finding the most unusual objects (discord discovery) and finding repeated objects (motif discovery). While there are many representations that can be used to solve these problems (i.e. wavelets, Fourier methods etc), in this talk I argue that solutions which are scalable to massive datasets will require symbolic representations. The talk will be illustrated with examples from anthropology, law enforcement, biology and mining of historical texts. Upcoming IIC seminars Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule. Please Note: The February 13, 2007 National Virtual Observatory Panel has been postponed. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars

The traditional infrastructure model of a single monolithic system running a single, monolithic OS and a single application at wastefully low levels of utilization is obsolete. There is a rapid shift by customers to an infrastructure that is fully virtual, simpler and robust, composed dynamically from granular and standard physical hardware components. Virtual Infrastructure has emerged as the new model for customers to deliver systems infrastructure services universally to any application and OS by harnessing pools of server, storage and network. In this model, the operating system's role has changed from managing the underlying infrastructure to providing the best set of services for applications. As OSes become customized and integrated with the application stack, virtual appliances are emerging as the optimal mechanism for customers and software vendors to deploy and manage software in a virtualized world.
