Subject: Learn how you can compute on Blue Waters
To: alan(a)aspuru.com
Many scientists are hard at work developing applications for the Blue Waters
sustained petascale computer. A proposal deadline is this week, and there
will be another Petascale Computing Resource Allocation (PRAC) deadline in
March of next year.
You are in a select group of scientists identified as being a) someone who
might want to consider writing a PRAC proposal for 2011, or b) a scientist
who is a potential Blue Waters user.
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) invites you to
make an appointment to talk with Dr. Brett Bode at the ACS meeting in San
Francisco next week to explore possible options for your research to grow to
the next level by utilizing the computational capabilities of Blue Waters.
There are ongoing opportunities for researchers with the need for large
scale computing resources to address their transformational science problem.
Opportunities exist for both researchers developing their own codes as well
as researchers using established scalable software tools. While your own
computational needs might not meet the minimum requirements to be considered
for an allocation on Blue Waters, there are still options for accessing
computing time on Blue Waters.
A computational chemist himself, Dr. Bode is an NCSA staff member working
with the NSF allocated PRAC teams to prepare their codes to run on Blue
Waters.
Meetings will be held in our booth, #1429, in the ACS exhibit hall.
Appointments are 30 minutes in length and are available:
Monday, March 22, between 10 am to noon
Tuesday, March 23, between 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, also 2:30 to 4:30 pm
Wednesday, March 24, between 9 am to noon
We strongly encourage you to make an appointment so that you will be
guaranteed an opportunity to discuss your research and compute needs with
Dr. Bode, as opposed to just dropping by our booth when you have a free
moment.
Please respond to this email with your choices of 2-3 times you would like
to meet. We’ll schedule your appointment and email you a confirmation.
We look forward to seeing you at the ACS meeting in San Francisco!
