PSE AI in Science and Engineering Townhall Meetings
by Mulligan, Silvia P. 24 May '19

24 May '19

PSE AI in Science and Engineering Townhall Meetings Dear Colleagues, The Physical Sciences and Engineering Directorate will host a series of Townhall Meetings on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Science and Engineering. The purposes of the meetings are to build a community and a network of collaborators across divisions and directorate, to help catalyze collaborative projects involving development and use of AI in sciences and engineering. This will enable Argonne to capture major anticipated external funding in the scientific areas over the next five years. The ideas and discussions will also help articulate a science-driven strategy for AI applications, and areas where Argonne should claim national and international leadership. The format of the meetings will be one-hour meetings with 15-minute presentations by volunteers, up to three presentations per meeting, followed by Q&A and discussions. We are looking for informal presentations on ideas that staff or postdocs would like to pursue, or that you think Argonne should pursue, why this is a cool or important idea, and also state what skills or capabilities are needed to realize the project(s); in particular, we hope the townhall meetings can connect collaborators across the divisions and directorates. The meetings are primarily for PSE staff and postdocs, as well as staff and postdocs in MCS, DSL, and CPS, but anybody who would like to attend to listen or to present ideas are welcome. The meetings are to be held weekly Thursdays at 2 pm at venues below. We are looking for volunteers: please respond by signing up at the doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/m4ynsf8rmnwmwstp indicating your preferred date for a presentation, and a tentative title in the comments section. You are welcome to give as many presentations as you would like, but any one person can only give one presentation per meeting. If you have any specific questions, please contact Olle Heinonen, heinonen(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>. ___________________________________________________________________ Date Location 5/30 241/A323 6/6 241/D173 6/13 241/D173 6/20 241/A323 6/27 241/A323 7/4 Holiday 7/11 241/A323 7/18 241/A323 7/25 241/A323 8/1 241/A323 tentatively 8/8 241/A323

ALCF/CPS committee responsibilities draft
by Habib, Salman 22 May '19

22 May '19

Hi Everyone, As we have previously discussed there will be a new ALCF/CPS committee to optimize joint work/responsibilities and to enhance moving in new directions. I will be talking to Mike Papka about this tomorrow. Attached is a current draft of the committee's remit, which I will be discussing with Mike. No doubt the ALCF folks will have their own comments and responses. If you have any comments on the attached document, please send them to me before COB today. That said, you should find nothing surprising in the draft. Best Salman

The registration form provides opportunities for researchers to give talks. The workshop is open to all Argonne personnel. Also, Rick will be giving an update on AI Initiatives at Argonne on Wednesday, May 22, 9am - 11am in 362 Auditorium. Part of the presentation will focus on requirements for running on CS-!, so that groups can determine their state of readiness. Mark your calendars to attend Rick’s presentation on Wednesday, May 22 to get more details about the Cerebras Workshop as well an update on AI Initiatives at Argonne. Thanks, Valerie --------------------------------------------- Cerebras CS-1 Workshop Goal Argonne is leading high-impact opportunities to use advanced hardware for deep learning in mission critical areas. One of these new systems is the Cerebras CS-1 which will deploy on-site in late summer 2019. To ensure that Argonne project teams are ready to use this advanced architecture the moment it's deployed, CELS is initiating a series of events to support researchers across the Lab. ALD Rick Stevens will provide a 2-hour kick-off talk on May 22, 2019 to outline the opportunities, anticipated activities, and schedule. Using knowledge gained from this event, Laboratory researchers who believe their projects meet the deep learning criteria and want to use the CS-1 machine are strongly encouraged to complete this SurveyMonkey Registration and participate at the Argonne Workshop for CS-1: Open Forum for Application Selection event hosted on June 7, 2019. Groups that meet the criteria will then be invited to a hackathon to get them fully ready for immediate work on the CS-1.
