  2. What is INCITE? INCITE: Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment Provides awards to academic, government, and industry organizations worldwideneeding large allocations of computer time, supporting resources, and data storage to pursue transformational advances in science and industrial competitiveness. Beginning in 2010, INCITE is jointly run by the ALCF and OLCF, managed by Julia White

  3. High-resolution climate modelingProviding accurate scenarios of future climate change Abrupt climate change:Running NCAR’s CCSM3 model, the simulation shows deglaciationduring the Bolling-Allerod, Earth’s most recent period of natural global warming Visualization: Jamison Daniel, ORNL

  4. Advances in nuclear reactor modelingMaking safe, clean nuclear energy available globally “Computations… are already yielding important results in the analysis and understanding of reactor core flows, including establishment of turbulent flow entry lengths and subassembly coolant mixing characteristics." Dr. Paul Fischer, Argonne National Laboratory Representation of turbulent flow of coolant into a mock-up of the upper plenum of an advanced recycling nuclear reactor. The colors indicate the speed of the fluid.

  5. High-temperature superconductor designRevolutionary simulations for improved energy transmission Dynamic cluster quantum Monte Carlo simulation of the striped state in the 1/8 doped LaBaCuO high-temperature cuprate superconductor. Consistent with experiments, the simulations show evidence that superconductivity is optimized in this state. Simulation: Thomas Maier, Gonzalo Alvarez, Mike Summers, ORNL & Thomas Schulthess, ETH Zürich; Visualization: Jeremy Meredith, ORNL

  6. Next-generation energy and propulsionFirst proof-of-concept aero and acoustic large-eddy simulation (LES) calculation completed Reducing aerodynamic noise is critical to the viability of next-generation “green” low-carbon/greenhouse gas emission energy systems (e.g., wind turbines) “As this technology develops, it will accelerate GE's ability to design quieter and larger blades and significantly increase the energy yields possible from the wind portion of the world's renewable portfolio." Dr. Gary Leonard, Global Technology Leader Energy and Propulsion Technologies GE Global Research

  7. LCF allocation programsMore than 2.7 billion processor hours • Proposals considered year-round • Award up to millions of hours • Annual call for proposals • Award tens of millions of hours • For projects of high impact in science, engineering, and computer science that require leadership systems • Allocated by the ASCR office

  8. INCITE in its 7th yearExplosive growth in program allocations More than 1.6 billion processor hours in 2010

  9. INCITE is open to researchers worldwide from academic, government, and industry organizations Advancing the state of the art across a range of disciplines Accelerator physics Astrophysics Bioenergy Chemical sciences Computer Science Engineering Climate research Environmental science Life sciences • No designated number of hours for a particular science area • INCITE looks at all recommendations, focusing on potential for scientific or technological impact, then readiness Materials science Fusion energy Nuclear physics

  10. The INCITE program is typically 2.5× oversubscribed Millions of Processor Hours Requested 10

  11. INCITE awards have grown in size and number

  12. INCITE 2010 awards: 35 new projects and 34 renewal projects41% of new submittals and 83% of renewals 

  13. 2010 project demographics by PI affiliation

  14. Nov INCITE 2011: Schedule for proposals Call for Proposals (new and renewals) April 14 to June 30 ComputationalReadiness Review Scientific Peer Review Announcements Account processing Allocations (through December 2011) Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan 2011

  15. Review process: Computational readiness • Reviewers: Center staff who are expert in these systems • Both centers review each proposal

  16. Review process: Panel review • Reviewers: Domain experts drawn from institutions worldwide

  17. 2010 INCITE process changes • Introduced a feedback step for computational review • Enhanced program transparency by providing reviewer comments to authors • Expanded blue-ribbon peer review panel • Initiated review of renewals • Engaged ALCF and OLCF management teams and INCITE manager in selection of proposals

  18. 2011 Call for proposals • Opens April 14th, closes June 30th • Awards made independently of funding source • 1.6B processor hours to be allocated for CY 2011 • Average project award to exceed 20M processor hours • Applicants must present evidence that their proposed production simulations can make effective use of a significant fraction, in most cases 20% or more, of the HPC systems offered for allocation
