SUNNYVALE, CA. and LUGANO, SWITZERLAND – Aug. 9, 2010 – The HPC Advisory Council, a leading worldwide organization for high-performance computing research, development, outreach and education, today announced a Award program that will be accepting research proposals for advanced research in the subject area of high-performance computing. Twice a year, the HPC Advisory Council will select worthy proposals allowing winners to benefit from a range of the council’s resources and events, including the opportunity to present their final research results to a wider audience.

One of the HPC Advisory Council’s main activities is community and education outreach. The University Award program is an outgrowth of this, and is intended to enhance students’ computing knowledge-base as early as possible.
“HPC is critically important to our economy and future, and its role is growing both in research and industry,” said Gilad Shainer, chairman of the HPC Advisory Council. “The University Award program is part of our ongoing effort to encourage and provide incentives for HPC education and advancement. We look forward to reviewing proposals, and working with the winners to highlight their research and further advances in HPC technology and education.”
“This is an excellent opportunity for students around the world to bring their research to life and highlight the end results to the HPC community,” said Hussein Nasser El-Harake at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre CSCS who serves as the Director of the HPC Advisory Council Center of Excellence in Switzerland. “As part of the HPC Advisory Council’s award submission review team, we look forward to reviewing what students have planned for utilizing the performance power of clusters to solve interesting and important problems.”
Winners will be provided with the following:
- Exclusive computation time on the HPC Advisory Council’s Compute Center
- Invitation to present the research results at one of the HPC Advisory Council’s worldwide workshops, including sponsorship of travel expenses (according to the Council Award Program rules)
- Publication of the research results on the HPC Advisory Council website and related publications
- Publication of the research results and a demonstration, if applicable, within the HPC Advisory Council world-wide technology demonstration activities
Proposals for the 2011 HPC Advisory Council University Award Program can be submitted from August 1, 2010 through October 30, 2010 at the HPC Advisory Council website. The selected proposal(s) will be determined by November 15th and the winner(s) will be notified.
For more information and registration, please visit the HPC Advisory Council website.

The High Performance and High Productivity Computing Platform (HP2C) invites the submission of proposals focused on applications of high performance computing to risk analysis for global challenges.

These projects should focus on advances in mathematical methods, algorithms and computational techniques to better exploit next generation supercomputing platforms for the analysis and forecast of global challenges, including climate change, regional weather prediction, natural hazards, but also social challenges like major disruptions in financial markets. Given the short duration and the limitation of budget, projects are expected to focus on methodological development and testing to prove the feasibility and impact of the new methods proposed. Projects focused merely on methods and algorithms for current low-end computer platforms will not be supported.

Workshops in preparation of the joint Call for Proposals in the area of software for High Performance Computing
In preparation for an upcoming FP7 ICT 2010 EU-Russia Joint Call on Software for HPC (HPC programming models and runtime support, performance analysis tools for HPC, and optimisation, scalability and porting of HPC codes), and to bring in contact EU and Russian researchers to reply jointly to this call, two technical workshops are planned. The first workshop has taken place in Brussels on March the 25th, 2010 and the second workshop will take place on June the 9th, 2010 in Moscow.

To register or receive more information about these two workshops please send an email to Panagiotis.Tsarchopoulos@ec.europa.eu

We are pleased to invite you to submit your proposals for the contribution of chapters to the “Handbook of Research on Computational Science and Engineering: Theory and Practice”.
CSE is an emerging, rapidly developing, and potentially very significant force in changing scientific practice by offering a ‘third way’ of carrying out research in addition to, or indeed, instead of, theory and experiment.

This handbook will provide a basic reference text for the fundamental elements making up CSE and showing their interdependence in a way that (a) reviews state of the art and current achievements; (b) explores imminent developments that will advance the state of play; and (c) presents these in a form accessible to as wide an audience of interested parties as possible.
Details are provided on the book site http://www.cse-book.com/index.html and on the following PDF document: CSE-handbook-call-extended.
Mario Valle (CSCS) on behalf of the Editorial Board
