INCITE Program Receives HPCwire Readers’ Choice Award for Government-Industry Collaboration
Program provides scientists with computationally intensive projects access to leadership computing
The Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program has received an HPCwire Readers’ Choice award for “best HPC collaboration between government and industry.” Since 2003, the INCITE program has given large-scale, computationally intensive research projects access to America’s premier leadership computing facility (LCF) centers, established and operated by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. In 2009 through INCITE, the LCF centers at Argonne and Oak Ridge national laboratories allocated 900 million processing hours to projects with the potential to significantly advance key areas in science and engineering. INCITE projects come from universities, industry, and government agencies.
Tomas Tabor, publisher of HPCwire, announced the award on Monday night from HPCwire’s booth at the 2009 International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC09) in Portland, Ore. HPCwire is the preeminent news and information website covering infrastructure topics such as hardware, middleware, networking, storage, tools and applications.
