I just wanted to make sure everyone saw this. If you think you might be interested, please let your supervisor know. Cheers, James -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Call for Advanced Computing Expedition LDRD Proposals Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 16:04:37 +0000 From: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov> Reply-To: Argonne Newsroom <ArgonneNewsroom(a)anl.gov> To: osborn(a)alcf.anl.gov Call for Advanced Computing Expedition LDRD Proposals *DISCRETIONARY ACTION: DUE 2/22/2019* February 1, 2019 TO: Argonne Research and Development Staff FROM: Vivian Sullivan, LDRD Program Manager, and Supratik Guha, Senior Science Advisor SUBJECT: Call for Advanced Computing Expedition LDRD Proposals Argonne's Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program drives innovation by supporting the development of transformative ideas that have the potential to lead to new, sponsor-funded research and development programs. This call offers you the opportunity to seek FY19 funding under the LDRD Prime program in the Advanced Computing Focus Area. We are interested in supporting a number of fast-track focused efforts to explore new computing technologies on Argonne-related problems. This Expedition will support an investigator to work intensively for up to six weeks to develop a quantum algorithm, a neuromorphic application, to explore the use of accelerator technology for deep learning, or work with our team on optimizing a code for the Aurora exascale system. Argonne's LDRD website <https://anl.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=12b0bf5a3c2bf2e87f5cab8a4&id=…> describes the scope and provides submission instructions for proposals.

Introduction --
by Habib, Salman 02 Feb '19

02 Feb '19

Hi Everyone, A short email as I am getting started in the new position -- I am now getting training-related and other official emails from the Lab so I hope you will not be too surprised to receive the occasional reminder or some similar email from me. During the transition period my schedule will be very messy, but I do want to meet everyone in the Division individually as the very first order of business. Tim and I will figure out how best to do this. Best Salman
