Argonne to host ACME dedicated computer
by Robert Jacob 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Hi everyone, More good news: Argonne was selected to host a dedicated computer for ACME production and development! Once we had an alpha version that needed short, fast-turnaround jobs for testing, it was clear that the queue wait times at NERSC and the LCFs made it impossible to get the needed turnaround. Things were particularly bad in the 2 weeks before the SC16 deadline. With the support of both our Advisory Panel and recent review panel, Dorothy was able to find funds to purchase a computer. LCRC will setup and manage the 100+ node Intel (Broadwell) cluster which should arrive in September. All the credit goes to Ray Bair who put together a very professional proposal and was very responsive to follow-up questions. Rob

Fwd: [acme-all] DOE-ESM AGU & opportunities
by Robert Jacob 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Note that there are 2 BER-climate SciDAC calls out: a regular SciDAC application (LAB 17-1681) and a "pilot project" (LAB 17-1682). -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [acme-all] DOE-ESM AGU & opportunities Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2016 21:28:58 +0000 From: Koch, Dorothy <Dorothy.Koch(a)SCIENCE.DOE.GOV> Reply-To: Koch, Dorothy <Dorothy.Koch(a)SCIENCE.DOE.GOV> To: ACME-ALL(a)LISTSERV.LLNL.GOV Dear DOE Earth System Modeling investigators and colleagues, Please note and spread the word on the following DOE climate modeling opportunities: 1.Share your DOE-funded AGU presentations with us and others in our modeling programs 2.We are searching for a rotator PM, either an ï¿½IPAï¿½ from a University or a ï¿½detaileeï¿½ from a DOE Lab 3.Graduate Research opportunity in computational climate modeling 4.Two postdoc opportunities at LBNLï¿½s NERSC and ORNLï¿½s OLCF for computational climate modeling 5.Funding opportunities: SciDAC Lab (LAB17-1681 and LAB17-1682) and FOA17-0001682. *1.**_If you are attending AGU and are presenting a DOE-funded project_*, submit your information now <https://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/agu-materials>*. *** ** Deadline to submit your abstracts is Wednesday, November 16. *A powerful way to draw people to your AGU sessions is to get them highlighted on the website. This is also an important way that we track scientific impacts.* *Itï¿½s a simple three-step process to share your abstract information with us, using this form on the *Climate and Earth System Modeling*website at *https://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/agu-materials*.*** *__* *2.**_IPA or Detailee program manager opportunity_* We are seeking for one or two qualified individuals to join our Climate and Environmental Sciences Division as a Program Manager rotator (either under the Interagency Personnel Act ï¿½ similar to NSF rotators, or as a DOE-Lab detailee). The candidate will co-manage the Earth System Modeling program with specific duties tailored to the skills and interests of the candidate. Examples of activities include: planning of workshops or annual PI meetings, development of plan for ACME v1 outreach, management of existing research projects, travel to assist in ACME project coordination, development of collaborative activities within the Climate Division. The positions are limited to US citizens and a Ph.D. is required, and the candidate should be willing to spend most of the appointment time at our Germantown HQ. The candidate should possess experiencewith model development, and expertise in one or more of the following: climate-scale modeling of the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, land, or coupled climate system; representation of human-systems needed in climate models; computational methods for complex model systems.(see climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/ <http://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/> for more information on program activities and scope). Please send any serious inquiries to me (Dorothy.koch(a)science.doe.gov <mailto:[email protected]>) *before December 9, 2016*). *3.**_Graduate Research opportunity in computational climate modeling_**: *** DOEï¿½s Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2016 Solicitation *Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Monday November 21, 2016. *http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/ One of the topics is intended to foster the development of computational-climate modeling skills by providing an opportunity for graduate students to perform part of their PhD research at a DOE Lab and to gain skill with using DOE advanced computer systems: * (f) Earth System Modeling: Computational Climate Modeling* In order to advance the predictive capabilities of climate models, there is ongoing need to improve climate model complexity, Earth system process representation and model resolution. At the same time, computing capabilities continue to advance and computer architectures are becoming increasingly complex. These computational advances present both a challenge and opportunity for climate modeling research, and there is need for the combined skill-set of computational and climate sciences, in order to design and optimize climate model codes with methods that can effectively utilize the evolution and advances of computer systems. /Candidates for this topic should therefore be developing new algorithms or computational methods for climate and Earth system model codes that will both advance climate science and be designed to effectively and efficiently utilize emerging generations of Leadership class computers/. The SCGSR program supports supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist for a period of 3 to 12 consecutive monthsï¿½with the goal of preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission. The SCGSR program is open to current Ph.D. students in qualified graduate programs at accredited U.S. academic institutions, who are conducting their graduate thesis research in targeted areas of importance to the DOE Office of Science. The research opportunity is expected to advance the graduate studentsï¿½ overall doctoral thesis/dissertation while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories. The supplemental award provides for additional, incremental costs for living and travel expenses directly associated with conducting the SCGSR research project at the DOE host laboratory during the award period. *4.**_Postdoc opportunities at LBNLï¿½s NERSC and ORNLï¿½s OLCF for computational climate modeling_* There are currently 2 postdoctoral opportunities to work with climate modeling on DOEï¿½s next generation computer architectures. Both positions are within DOE computational facility programs, at LBNLï¿½s NERSC (the NESAP program) or at ORNLï¿½s OLCF (the CAAR program), and would involve collaboration with DOEï¿½s Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME) project. An ideal candidate would have skill in computational science and interest in climate modeling. The ACME project has a major objective to perform (multi-component) fully coupled climate simulations at ultra-high resolution on DOEï¿½s advanced architectures to address DOE climate science and energy challenges. The postdoctoral scientist will have an opportunity to work with facility experts as well as with ACME team members who share a strong motivation to achieve optimal performance of the complex climate system on these challenging new computer architectures. (A strong candidate will very likely have long-term opportunity in the DOE programs!) More information on the LBNL NERSC NESAP opportunity is here: https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=81356&lang=en The advertisement for the ORNL OLCF CAAR ACME opportunity is here: https://recruiting.ornl.gov/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrrcf_a_posting_apply?PARA… <https://recruiting.ornl.gov/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrrcf_a_posting_apply?PARA…> 5.*_SciDAC Funding Opportunities_*LAB 17-1681 and LAB 17-1682 and FOA17-0001682 (postings pending internal approvals). Pre-applications are due January 20 and proposals due March 15, 2017. Inquiries will receive responses in an FAQ page. LAB OA page: http://science.energy.gov/grants/lab-announcements/open/ FOA page: http://science.energy.gov/grants/foas/open/ Please distribute any or all 5 of these items and opportunities to your project teams and to any who may have interest!
