"Tris(oxazolinyl)borates: New d0 Metal Scorpionate Complexes"
May 20, 2008, Tuesday, 1352 Gilman Hall, 2:10 pm
Dr. Julia White, Group Leader, User Assistance and Outreach, National Center for Computational Sciences, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
"Leadership Computing: Research Resources and Opportunities"
Dr. White presents an overview of tera- and peta-scale Department of Energy (DOE) and National Science Foundation (NSF) computing resources co-located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These systems are available to computational and computer researchers across the country on a peer-reviewed basis. The next DOE call for proposals will be announced in mid-May: the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program, which grants allocations of several hundred thousand to several million hours. Come learn more about the computers, scientific simulations, and opportunities available for researchers to request small-, mid- and large-scale allocations.
