Subject: DOE Adv Computational Software Workshop, Berkeley, Aug 2010
11th Workshop on the DOE Advanced Computational Software Collection,
"High Performance Software Tools to Fast-Track The Development of Scalable
and Sustainable Applications",
Berkeley, California, August 17-20, 2010
http://acts.nersc.gov/events/Workshop2010
The DOE Advanced CompuTational Software (ACTS) Collection comprises a
set of tools that aim at simplifying the solution of common and
important computational problems. The tools have substantially benefited
a wide range of scientific and industrial applications; these benefits
are accounted not only by improving computational efficiency but also by
enabling computation that would not have been possible otherwise.
The four-day workshop is organized by the Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory and will present an introduction to the DOE ACTS Collection
for application scientists whose research demands include
either large amounts of computation, the use of robust numerical
algorithms, or combinations of these. The workshop will include a range
of tutorials on the tools currently available in the collection,
discussion sessions aimed to solve specific computational needs by the
workshop participants, and hands-on practices using state-of-the-art
supercomputers at the National Energy Research Supercomputing
Center (NERSC). Presenters are tool developers from DOE National
Laboratories.
This workshop is opened to computational scientists from industry and
academia. Registration fees are fully sponsored by the DOE's Office of
Science. In addition, DOE will sponsor travel expenses and lodging for a
limited number of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For more
information on the workshop, please contact Tony Drummond at
(510) 486-7624.

Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Among its purposes is the
enhancement
and strengthening of the academic relations between the three counties with
respect to applied and industrial mathematics.
The meeting is organized into eight research topics with invited
minisymposia
and a general session that will take place in parallel to the minisymposia.
The conference is a great opportunity for students and young researchers to
learn about the state of the art and potential of industrial and applied
mathematics. All researchers and students with interdisciplinary interests
are welcome to participate.

Subject: Postdoc, AMR on hybrid architectures for subsurface flow, ORNL
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) is
seeking a postdoctoral research associate for the project "Massively
Parallel Block Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement on Hybrid Architectures
for Subsurface Flow Applications."
Predictive modeling of subsurface reactive flows is a daunting task because
of the wide range of spatial and time scales involved. Uniform grids can
resolve features only on the order of meters at best. The PFLOTRAN project
is aimed at developing the tools and methods needed for the next-generation
massively parallel codes for multiphase, multicomponent reactive flow and
transport.
You will play a major role in developing scalable groundwater flow
applications in PFLOTRAN with an emphasis on CO2 sequestration problems on
massively parallel hybrid multicore-GPU architectures. This will involve
research and development of efficient multilevel solution algorithms for PDE
systems on dynamic block-structured adaptive grids. You will be part of a
multidisciplinary team of scientists at national laboratories and
universities, including geologists, applied mathematicians, and computer
scientists.
Qualifications: The ideal applicant will have
* Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field
* Experience developing or using object-oriented block-structured adaptive
mesh refinement libraries
* Experience developing or using multigrid and multilevel solution
algorithms for elliptic PDE systems
* Knowledge of nonlinear solvers, Krylov solvers, and preconditioning
techniques
* Programming experience in C++ and/or Fortran 90
* Excellent communication skills and fluency in English
* Experience with PETSc, Hypre, SAMRAI libraries
* Parallel programming experience with MPI
* Programming experience with CUDA is a plus
The position is for a period of two years.
To apply, please view the general OLCF computational scientist postdoctoral
research associate listing at
http://orise.orau.gov/sep/needs/files/ORNL10-25-NCCS.pdf and follow the
instructions for application.
