News

• DOE has released the 2009 INCITE Call for Proposals
  
  For the sixth consecutive year, DOE's Office of Science is inviting proposals from scientists and engineers for the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program. The INCITE program will award significant allocations on some of the world's most powerful supercomputers to innovative, large-scale computational science projects to enable high-impact advances. Scientists from the national and international research community will be able to request allocations on machines at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
  

• A Supercomputer Takes Humanities Scholars Into the 21st Century
  By Josh Fischman, The Chronicle of Higher Education, April 22, 2008
  

• ATS Research Computing Technologies and IDRE introduce a new support tool for research. The Research Computing Forum, is available for you to join people in the UCLA High Performance Computing community to ask questions, get answers and share your knowledge and successes in your HPC endeavors. Also, the forum is a place to collect experience and solutions to common problems faced by our community as a whole as well as even more domain specific issues.
