JLESC Virtual Workshop (September 8-10): Opportunity to Participate
by Cappello, Franck 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Good evening, The 11 JLESC workshop: http://icl.utk.edu/jlesc11/, 8-10 of September, will be virtual. The virtual mode allows more participants. This is a good opportunity to discover the JLESC and to discuss potential collaborations with researchers of the other JLESC institutions (ANL, Inria, NCSA, JSC, BSC, UTK, Riken CCS). The workshop will feature 3h of sessions per day and will start early on the morning (7AM CT). We selected the timing and duration per day in order to allow the participants from all JLESC institutions (US, Europe, Japan) to attend the workshop sessions at the same time. The reduced program of the workshop will only focus on the identification of new potential collaborations between the JLESC institutions. It will feature a main session of live short talks (not prerecorded) and parallel sessions of break-out-sessions. The short talk sessions feature 6 talks and a 30 minute discussion. Each talk will have its dedicated Zoom discussion room. The program is available here: http://icl.utk.edu/jlesc11/. To attend the workshop, you will need to register before September 4th, 2020 8AM CT: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrccSE8SPOz9HFUBxA8vkHoH7cWh5z4iV… As always, only members of the JLESC institutions can attend the JLESC workshop. Best regards, The JLESC Executive Directors. -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing

Reminder- TODAY - Panel discussion: How to Make Teams Tick
by Gupta, Rinku K. 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Dear All, Reminder that this panel is taking place TODAY. We welcome you to attend this. As usual, if you have questions about this series or suggestions for future panels, please contact IDEAS-ECP members at Argonne: Anshu Dubey, Lois Curfman McInnes, Katherine Riley, Deb Stevens, or me. We welcome your suggestions. Best, Rinku From: IDEAS Project Outreach Lead <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: "IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com" <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Date: Thursday, August 13, 2020 at 6:00 AM To: "Gupta, Rinku K." <rgupta(a)mcs.anl.gov> Subject: Upcoming panel discussion: How to Make Teams Tick The next panel in the Strategies for Working Remotely<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…> series is: How to Make Teams Tick 3:00-4:15 pm ET Thursday, August 27, 2020 Panelists: * Todd Coffey (Sandia National Laboratories) * Justin Lamb (Sandia National Laboratories) * Navamita Ray (Los Alamos National Laboratory) * Ryan Shaw (Sandia National Laboratories) * Tyler Shelton (Sandia National Laboratories) * Daniel Shevitz (Los Alamos National Laboratory) * Salome Thorson (Sandia National Laboratories) * Jan Velechovsky (Los Alamos National Laboratory) Moderators: * Angela Herring (Los Alamos National Laboratory) * Elaine Raybourn (Sandia National Laboratories) Abstract: Many teams have been working remotely for several months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, teams were largely co-located and comfortable that way – they just seemed to tick. Now that teams have become fully virtual and can no longer rely on productivity practices driven by being face-to-face, how have they managed change? What personal challenges have they faced, and how are they bringing back into balance team dynamics, and individual well-being? What are they learning about themselves and each other that has been unexpected? In the fifth installment of this IDEAS-ECP panel discussion series, we bring together members of successful software teams to speak candidly about being disrupted by change and bringing their teams back into balance. Discussion protocol: Attendees are asked to type in their name and brief question in the chat accompanying the panel discussion. We will call on people to ask their question verbally in the order received, curating for uniqueness. Participation is free. Registration is required.

Early Career program in CELS
by Habib, Salman 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hi Everyone, The CELS leadership has been working to develop an Early Career assistance program for junior staff members. The goal of this program is to provide an opportunity for early career staff to receive mentoring in the areas of long-term planning, developing an R&D vision, and developing good presentations and elevator pitches. One key tangible goal of this program is to improve the proposal development and writing skills of the junior staff. Relevant to CPS, building a good collaborative skill set and wider scientific vision will be important elements of the broader context of this program; increased engagement with the rest of CELS and the Laboratory is expected to be a natural beneficial byproduct. Eligibility: Staff who are within 10 years of receiving a PhD or highest degree (although we will allow a few exceptions to this timeline). Long-term Research/Visioning: Develop a 5-year plan. Application Process: Eligible participants should submit a paragraph or two about their interest in this program, describing their research area and identified areas of opportunity. There should be sufficient (succinctly stated!) information to help in mentor selection. Please send this paragraph to me by 09/01/2020. Selections will be made via an internal CPS process. Expectations and Deliverables: Successful candidates will be matched with mentor(s) chosen from CELS; the mentor(s) and early career staff will be asked to develop a plan to identify what will be accomplished on a monthly basis for the period of October, 2020 through March, 2021. The 5-year plan should be aligned with the Argonne lab plan, the CELS strategy, and national scientific and DOE priorities (including that of specific program offices). By the end of March, it is expected that the early career staff member will have been sufficiently exposed to career and proposal development strategies; they should be ready with a written vision document (2-pages), draft milestones for a 5-year career plan, and an elevator pitch to the CELS DDs. Resources: We will use this program to build a repository of helpful links, successful proposals, reports, and helpful suggestions for proposal writing. As always, Tim and I will be happy to answer any questions. Best Salman

Welcoming Dimitrios Fytanidis
by Balakrishnan, Ramesh 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hello All, I am happy to welcome Dimitrios Fytanidis to CPS and Argonne. Today is Dimitrios’ first day at CPS, and he will be working remotely for some time. He is reachable via his Argonne email address, and also via the CPS and cps_cfd slack channels. Dimitrios will be pursuing post-doctoral research under my supervision on a DOE/EERE funded Distributed Wind Project. His expertise is in fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on turbulence modeling, and large scale flow simulations. His research work at Argonne will be on improving the predictive capability of flow simulations in the atmospheric boundary layer, and he has also evinced an interest in applying machine learning techniques to turbulence closure modeling. Please join me in welcoming Dimitrios to Argonne. Ramesh
