Overview
The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) Users Meeting will run for two intensive days April 17 and 18. At the meeting, principal investigators and members of their research teams will gather together with NCCS staff and vendors to discuss challenges and solutions in areas such as porting and scaling of applications on the XT system. Each project new to the Department of Energy’s INCITE [Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment] program will be invited to give a 10-minute presentation on its upcoming work, while renewing projects will review their work at an evening poster session. NCCS staff will also give presentations highlighting the complete range of resources, capabilities, and services available to the center’s users. This year’s meeting will be preceded by a three-day “Introduction to Cray XT” workshop April 1416.
