Minimum of 33% commitment needed and more is possible. If you are current Argonne staff (including postdocs) and interested in joining ACME's performance group, please contact me. More info below. Rob ACME is looking for people who can do a mix of the following (in order of priority): Optimizing current models on current and soon-to-be-installed machines. Need experience in one or more of threading, vectorization, GPU acceleration. The MPAS models (ocean and sea-ice) are a particular need area. All codes are Fortran. Point of contact for one or more of the current computing centers (LCFs and NERSC). Monitor the nightly testing and work with developers to fix problems. Perform periodic performance benchmarks. Performance research. Based on knowledge of future architecture trends, research and prototype more innovate and less incremental performance-related changes to ACME and its underlying algorithms.

ACME looking for more commitment
by Robert Jacob 11 May '17

11 May '17

Hello everyone, The ACME Council wants to know how many people could commit 75% or more of their time to ACME. They are considering converting ACME to a paradigm where most people are 75% or more starting Jan, 2018. Many Argonne ACME staff already meet that level. I'd like to hear from current ACME/CMDV staff if they are interested/available. Also if you know of Argonne staff (or UofC folks with Argonne joint appointments) not currently on ACME who could make that switch and commitment (any area of ACME work), let me know. Rob
