Each year, the DOE’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research program, or ASCR, dedicates roughly 30% of the computing resources at its three supercomputing facilities to projects pursuing DOE mission research. The yearlong ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) awards, which begin July…
University of Southern California doctoral student Ying Li will join ALCF this fall as the 2014 Margaret Butler Postdoctoral Fellow. Li is the first recipient of the ALCF fellowship that was announced during the spring 2013 Celebration of Thirty Years…
On April 22 and May 15, the INCITE program will host short webinars for anyone who’s interested in applying for 2015 INCITE time on Titan, the 27-petaflops Cray XK7 at Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, or on Mira, the 10-petaflops…
A team of scientists has, for the first time, calculated several fundamental properties of the carbon-12 nucleus using one of the world’s fastest supercomputers, setting the stage for more reliable neutrino detector calibrations and better supernovae explosion simulations. The work,…
February 28 is the deadline to apply for the ALCF’s new computational science postdoctoral fellowship position, named in honor of the late Argonne mathematician and computer science pioneer Margaret Butler. From very early on, Margaret viewed computers as a technology…
For most of us, New Year’s Day marks the start of new opportunities and renewed potential. Fittingly, January 1 also begins a new cycle of INCITE projects, and 2014 is the year that will see the highest number of awards…
