Graduate Student Awards in Supercomputing
Two Graduate Student Awards in Supercomputing to be awarded at the Spring 2010 San Francisco ACS National Meeting
The ACS Graduate Student Award in Supercomputing has been created to provide supercomputer resources to outstanding students in the early stages of their graduate career, particularly for projects that need high performance computing resources for their chemistry-related project. Those eligible for the award are graduate students in good standing who are carrying out research in the broadly defined area of computational chemistry. Winners (or their adviser, if necessary) will be the Principal Investigator of a new account on the kraken supercomputer at the National Institute of Computational Sciences (NICS). They will also be honored during a ceremony at the COMP Division poster session. Applicants are encouraged to present work within the COMP program at the meeting, either in oral or poster format.
The awardees are chosen on the basis of the significance of the project, potential impact of additional supercomputer resources, as well as the strength of the supporting letter and other materials.
Application requirements for the ACS National Meeting in San Francisco include an extended abstract of the work (no more than 1 page), a two page CV, a brief letter of support from the research advisor, and a 1 page computational plan indicating: computational resources already available for the project, the types of calculations to be performed, availability of software, justification of number and length of runs, and an estimate of the total time needed (up to 200,000 CPU hours maximum). For information about kraken, see http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/computing-resources/kraken. There is a limit of one application per research lab (PI).
IMPORTANT: APPLICATION MATERIALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM EASTERN TIME ON OCTOBER 19, 2009. These should be sent as pdf or text files (no other formats accepted) to carlos.simmerling_AT_gmail.com.
Applicants will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not receive confirmation by October 20, 2009, please contact the organizer immediately by telephone (see below).
In addition, you must submit your normal poster abstract to the "poster session" symposium on the ACS PACS system (the COMP deadline is October 19, 2009).
