Morgan Building, Room 121 for a High Performance Computing (HPC) forum hosted by Discovery Park. The purpose of this forum is to learn about key elements of a recent solicitation published by the National Science Foundation (NSF) aimed at building the next generation High Performance Computing platform. This will be a single NSF award delivered as a cooperative agreement totaling up to $60M procurement beginning in 2018. You can view the full program solicitation at https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2017/nsf17558/nsf17558.htm. In response to this solicitation, Purdue has submitted a letter of intent and will submit a proposal in November, 2017. Dr. Gerhard Klimeck, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology, is leading the effort. This forum will assist in the proposal development process by gathering audience input to refine the overall proposal strategy and to learn of current computational efforts happening on campus. This will be done during the forum through a series of short presentations by Purdue faculty and through a round table discussion with leading high performance computing experts -- audience Q&A and participation will be highly encouraged. Thank you for blocking your calendars for this important event. A detailed forum agenda is forthcoming. Please share with the appropriate faculty/staff within your centers.
