CPS Virtual Lunch Today
by Habib, Salman 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hi Everyone, Hopefully things are going well with all of you. Do try to get enough rest and take appropriate breaks. Work/life balance is important, although I am clearly the wrong person to lecture anyone on that ;-). As always, if anything comes up please do not hesitate to get in touch with your supervisor or Tim or me. As announced previously, we will have an informal virtual lunch today from 12 noon-1pm today. Do try to take some time off and hang out with your colleagues! The BJ link is: https://bluejeans.com/636358684/ The virtual happy hour last week was fun, so block out this Thursday 5-6pm! All the Best Salman

Re: SC20 paper submission
by Alexeev, Yuri 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

Hi Salman, I am submitting two technical papers: "Large Scale Parallel QAOA Quantum Simulator" and "Parallelization and Optimization of DFT Code for Biochemical Applications". Both papers are in very good shape. I am also co-organizing a SC20 workshop with Travis Humble from ORNL: "First International Workshop on Quantum Computing Software". It is already accepted with great reviews. On the related note, I will most likely organize a tutorial and workshop for IEEE Quantum Week: https://qce.quantum.ieee.org/ I expect acceptance given that the chair (Hausi A. Müller) invited me to participate.

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all continuing to bear up and carry on in the current circumstances. It is sometimes hard to get work done given all the remote meetings. Is this something you are seeing as well? Any ideas on "survival strategies" would be good to share at today's virtual happy hour at 5pm for all those who can make it.

Interlaboratory COVID-19 working group request for concepts
by Williams, Timothy J. 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Dear CPS, This request is for new ideas for the interlab COVID-19 working group. If you have an idea that can be framed as Rick describes, please let Salman & me know (or let us know if you've sent ideas directly to Rick). Thanks, Tim Begin forwarded message: From: "Stevens, Rick L." <stevens(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Fwd: Interlaboratory COVID-19 working group request for concepts Date: April 5, 2020 at 4:18:47 PM CDT To: "2019-ncov-all(a)lists.cels.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>" <2019-ncov-all(a)lists.cels.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: "Stevens, Rick L." <stevens(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Looks like DOE Is interested in some more ideas.. Please generate short paragraph of what you think could be done.. 3-6mo timeframe. few million. These should be fore things we are not already doing. thanks -rick Begin forwarded message: From: "Streiffer, Stephen K." <streiffer(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Interlaboratory COVID-19 working group request for concepts Date: April 5, 2020 at 3:01:49 PM CDT To: "Hafidi, Kawtar" <kawtar(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>>, "Stevens, Rick L." <stevens(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>>, "Sunderrajan, Suresh" <ssunderrajan(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>>, "Clifford, Megan" <mclifford(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Hi All, The interlaboratory working group, dubbed the National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory Consortium or NVBL or VBL by Chris Fall, has worked through establishing the initial set of subteam it has been dealing with. These are in epidemiological modeling, testing, manufacturing and supply chain, and medical therapeutics. There are also linked efforts via the High Performance Computing Consortium and a forming subteam on computing led by Barb Helland and Kathy Yelick, which is more focused on connecting FEMA et al. with needed compute resources and expertise. Currently I consider AI to be a cross-cut, and we do not have a team stood up looking at application of AI per se, as it's a tool that is being applied in serval areas. The working group is now looking for new concepts that could be considered under the VBL umbrella. It is anticipated that any funding for activity would come out of the just-passed, $2T 3rd stimulus bill, and should therefore reflect the language and staffer's intent with that bill, as well as DOE's belief about its role in the ecosystem, specifically on R&D and opposed to emergency response or direct operational activities. Ideas should also have a sound footing in the user facilities (reflecting the language in the bill), and also be multilab if we are going to get them under the VBL umbrella. The scale is at most a few million dollars with the idea that they can be executed over the next 3-6 months, perhaps longer, with immediate or very near-term impact as the work turns on. Please ping the right folks in your organization, and start developing ideas. Ideas should ultimately be provided to me as a short paragraph by middle of next week. I'l provide a firmer decline once I have a general communication agreed to by the VBL executive team. Stephen ------------------------ Dr. Stephen Streiffer Argonne National Laboratory 9700 S.
