Goals of the Computer Science Effortsin the UNEDF SciDAC • Work with specific physicists in the project to improve particular UNEDF component codes • Create methods and software that are useful to other codes in UNEDF • Create methods and software that may be useful to other high-performance scientific applications
The Collaborations • Large-Scale Eigenvalue Calculations • James Vary (Iowa State), Esmond Ng, Chao Yang (LBNL) • Asynchronous Dynamic Load-Balancing Library • Steven Pieper (ANL), Rusty Lusk (ANL) • Multiresolution Methods for Nuclear DFT-Based Methods • Witold Nazarewicz (UT), David Dean (ORNL/UT), George Fann (ORNL) • Coupled Cluster Expansions • David Dean (ORNL/UT), Ken Roche (ORNL) • Performance Analysis and Optimization • Witold Nazarewicz (UT), Jorge Moré, Boyana Norris, Jason Sarich (ANL) • Implementation of 3D-lattice scalable nuclear static and time-dependent Density Functional Theory (DFT) • Aurel Bulgac (UW), Ken Roche (ORNL) • Usability and Automatic Deployment • James Vary (Iowa State U.), Masha Sosonkina (Ames Lab)

INCITE Award • Title: Computational Nuclear Structure • Awardees (all in UNEDF): • David Dean, Oak Ridge National Laboratory • James Vary, Iowa State University • Witold Nazarewicz, University of Tennessee and ORNL • Steven Pieper, Argonne National Laboratory • Computer Resources awarded: • 10,000,000 processor-hours on Argonne’s IBM BlueGene P • 7,500,000 processor-hours on Oak Ridge’s Cray XT-4 • Much of the computer science work described here is targeted at scaling up the relevant codes to take advantage of the power of the leadership class machines.
Testimonials • “We have made considerable progress and much more is in the pipeline. These collaborations between physicists and computer scientists have been critical to making rapid progress.” -- James Vary, Iowa State • “I think all us are working as a team very well on this project which ultimately will enable the GFMC program to use 10,000's of processors. Without this collaboration, I see no way that the GFMC program would be able to effectively use the next generation of supercomputers. I also think that my needs are helping to define a package, being written by computer-science professionals, that will be useful to others.” -- Steve Pieper, Argonne National Laboratory • “In general, there is a great level of satisfaction on the collaboration with our CS colleagues.” -- Witold Nazarewicz, Oak Ridge
