Early Science Program Investigators Meeting
Register now for the Early Science Program Investigators Meeting for Reports from the Leading Edge of Computational Science
Join us for an exploration of research showcasing the power and promise of Mira, the ALCF’s new 10-petaflops IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, demonstrated not with benchmarks and specifications, but through ambitious scientific computations enabled by the ALCF’s Early Science Program (ESP).
Investigators from each of the 16 ESP projects will overview their simulation campaigns on Mira, and the scientific discovery in progress—including simulations unprecedented in scale, scope, or complexity—from projects covering a wide range of scientific disciplines and numerical methods.
If you have an interest in burgeoning, large-scale computational science, we hope you will be intrigued and inspired by these stories from the forefront. The ALCF is pleased to offer this event at no cost to the scientific community.
If you will be at Argonne for the symposium on Thirty Years of Parallel Computing at Argonne (May 14 - 15), we encourage you to stay for the Early Science Program Investigators Meeting to get an inkling of what the next few years in scientific computing will bring.
