CONTACT:Mike Payne
DESCRIPTION:11.00-12.30:    Talk followed by Q&A\n\n14.00-16.00:   One-to-
 one discussions with those interested in applying for time and using the A
 rgonne Leadership Computing Facility. If you wish to book a time to talk t
 o Dr. Romero please e-mail Mike Payne (mcp1@cam.ac.uk).\n\nAbstract: The g
 oal of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) is to extend the f
 rontiers of science by solving problems that require innovative approaches
  and the largest-­scale computing systems. ALCF’s most powerful compute
 r - Mira\, an IBM Blue Gene/Q system - has nearly one million cores. How d
 oes one program such systems? What software tools are available? Which sci
 entific and engineering applications are able to utilize such levels of pa
 rallelism? This talk will address these questions and describe a sampling 
 of projects that are using ALCF systems in their research\, including ones
  in nanoscience\, materials science\, and chemistry. I will also present t
 he allocation programs available to U.K. researchers and the international
  community. Lastly\, I will present some information about the future ALCF
  systems\, Theta and Aurora.
