Staff for next phase of E3SM
by Robert Jacob 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hello everyone, The executive committee is sketching out a staffing plan were there is a "core" team of people who are 75% or more. Many of our staff already meet that requirement and I've already talked to those that don't about moving up. We don't yet know how the current budget is split between core and non-core. By Oct 15, the executive committee is supposed to have a draft plan, with names, of the core and non-core teams. Feedback is due back by Nov 1. I'm assuming everyone currently on E3SM wants to keep going for the 3 years starting July 1, 2018 (let me know if not). I'm optimistic we can retain our current budget and staff level. Although the total project budget will be flat, management has said they want to add software and performance engineers since v2 will have a large focus on performance and a reduced "new science" scope compared to v1. If you know of anyone at the lab with those skills who wants to join E3SM, have them contact me. Regards, Rob

FYI. The near-final version of the E3SM strategic plan. Still needs BER review so not ready for wide distribution yet. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [acme-all] Enregy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) Strategic Plan Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 21:26:04 +0000 From: Bader, David C. <bader2(a)LLNL.GOV> Reply-To: Bader, David C. <bader2(a)LLNL.GOV> To: ACME-ALL(a)LISTSERV.LLNL.GOV Dear Dorothy, On behalf of the Council and project members, we are pleased to submit our updated Strategic Plan for the E3SM project (attached) for BER review and comment.

New E3SM proposal deadline
by Robert Jacob 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Hello all, A new round of deadlines have been proposed for the renewal of the E3SM (fka ACME) SFA. It looks like the beta testing/debugging of v1 may finally be ending so these dates will likely hold. White paper: Nov 15, 2017 Renewal proposal: March 15, 2018 v1 model release: April 15, 2018 Proposal review: May 15, 2018 If you have questions about the BER SFA process, see the first pdf here: https://science.energy.gov/ber/funding-opportunities/laboratory-scientific-… Rob

ACME name change to E3SM
by Robert Jacob 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

All, The model is definitely going to change its name to E3SM "Energy Exascale Earth System Model" and the strategic plan reflects that. We should use E3SM in all publications and public communications about the model. Specifically, publications should say: “This research was supported as part of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research”. If referencing E3SM in your publication, please add "formerly known as Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy (ACME)" when first referring to E3SM. We will eventually be changing the name of the model on github from github.com/ACME-Climate/ACME to github.com/E3SM/E3SM. Our other URL's and mailing lists that are for internal communications will probably stay "acme". Rob

Please forward this to any interested Argonne staff. Rob -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [MCS Staff] ACME looking for performance experts Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 15:14:17 -0600 From: Robert Jacob <jacob(a)anl.gov> Reply-To: jacob(a)anl.gov To: mcs-staff(a)mcs.anl.gov Hello, The Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME) project is looking to grow its staff in the area of performance engineering. 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. More on ACME: https://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/projects/accelerated-climate-mod… _______________________________________________ Subscription to this list is automatic based on your appointment in the MCS division.
