Applications are now being accepted to attend a workshop on "Robust
and High Performance Tools for Scientific Computing" sponsored by DOE
and to be held Sept. 4-7 at the Lab. The three-and-a-half-day workshop will
present an introduction to the DOE Advanced CompuTational Software Collection
(ACTS Collection, http://acts.nersc.gov)
for application scientists whose research requires large amounts of computation,
a large volume of data manipulation, the use of robust numerical algorithms,
or combinations of these.
There is no charge for the workshop, but attendance will be limited and
researchers interested in attending must submit an application. Additionally,
DOE will fully sponsor a limited number of graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows to participate in this event. Proposals from other research scientists
are also encouraged. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, July 9,
2002. Applications should be submitted using the on-line
form.
The ACTS Collection comprises a set of tools mainly developed at DOE
laboratories. These software tools aim to simplify the solution of common
and important computational problems and have substantially benefited
a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. These benefits
include not only running applications efficiently in high performing computing
environments but also realizing computation that would not have been possible
otherwise.
For more information on the workshop, please contact Tony Drummond at
X7624 or Osni Marques at X5290. More information about the workshop can
