Seminar Title: Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing : Resources for Science Driven Computation

Abstract

The Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing Program (SciDAC) operated by the Department of Energy Office of Science has begun its second round of projects, after a wealth of successful projects in its first five years. This unique program has brought together computational scientists, applied mathematicians, and computer scientists from across application domains and from universities and national laboratories across the United States. As a result, the computational state-of-the-art in many fields has advanced significantly. This talk will present an overview of the resources and opportunities available to researchers through SciDAC.
