Hello,
I will not be at the UTA meetings before all decisions will be taken will there be another
discussion?

How best to start brainstorming? A discussion next week during the UTA meetings?

NERSC is starting a new round of NESAP postdocs (25 this time!) to prepare for NERSC perlmutter (aka NERSC 9). This is a good opportunity to get a postdoc or two to work on a variety of potential applications: from fastsim on GPUs, to ML for
tracking or simulation, to HPC remote data access, etc.
The deadline is Dec 18, so we should start brainstorming about possible workloads.

Subject: [Users] NESAP Call for Proposals now open
To: users AT nersc.gov
Dear
NERSC Users,
The
National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center is now accepting applications from NERSC users for the
NERSC
Exascale Science Application Program (NESAP).
NESAP
will partner with 25 simulation, data-intensive and machine learning applications to prepare workloads for the upcoming
Perlmutter
HPC system, which features both CPU and heterogeneous compute nodes,
multiple NVIDIA accelerators per node, an all-flash file system and new Cray interconnect, code-named Slingshot, which is designed for data-centric computing. This call is open to applications with all levels of accelerator readiness.

NESAP
for Simulations (N4S): Cutting-edge simulation of complex physical
phenomena requires increasing amounts of computational resources due to factors such as larger model sizes, additional physics and parameter space searches. N4S enables simulations to make effective use of modern high-performance computing platforms by focusing
on algorithm and data structure development and implementation on new architectures such as GPUs, exposing additional parallelism and improving scalability.
-
NESAP
for Data (N4D):
To answer today’s most complex experimental challenges,
scientists are collecting exponentially more data and analyzing it with new computationally intensive algorithms. N4D addresses data-intensive science pipelines that process massive datasets from experimental and observational science (EOS) facilities like
synchrotron light sources, telescopes, microscopes, particle accelerators, or genome sequencers. The goal is seamless integration and data flow between EOS facilities and supercomputing resources to enable scalable, real-time data analytics.
-
NESAP
for Learning (N4L): Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL)
are
powerful approaches to solving complicated classification, regression, and pattern recognition problems. N4L focuses on developing and implementing cutting-edge ML/DL solutions to improve the potential for scientific discovery arising from experimental or
simulation data, or in high-performance computing (HPC) applications by replacing parts of the software stack or algorithms with ML/DL solutions.
Accepted
teams will be partnered with resources at NERSC, Cray, and NVIDIA including access to:
-
NERSC Application Readiness
staff assistance with code profiling and optimization
-
Collaboration with and
assistance from NVIDIA and Cray engineers
-
Training sessions and
hack-a-thons
-
Early access to GPU nodes
on Cori
-
Early access to Perlmutter
-
Opportunity for a postdoctoral
researcher to be placed within your application team (NERSC will fund up to 17 positions)
Selected
teams will be responsible for:
-
Providing a benchmark
problem & figure of merit on Edison (and Cori)
-
Designating a point of
contact for their code team (committing a recommended 0.5 FTE of effort per year on NESAP and related accelerator focused application-performance activities)
-
Production of intermediate
and final reports detailing science results and performance improvement
Submissions
will be evaluated on:
-
Computing resource usage
within DOE Office of Science
-
Representation within
the 6 Programs in the Office of Science
-
Potential for scientific
advancements
-
Potential for transfer
of improvements to broader community
-
Resources available to
augment NERSC/vendor resources
-
Commitment from team (FTEs,
etc)
This
call will be open until December 18, 2018 12 PM PST and selections will be announced in January.

to NESAP here
NERSC
is also now accepting applications for NESAP
Postdoctoral Fellowships!
Best
