NERSC Presents Computational Science
Lecture Series in D.C.

By Jon Bashor, jbashor@lbl.gov

March 30, 1999

The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), a DOE national user facility, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are presenting a series of colloquia on some of the more exciting and promising areas of computational science. NERSC, originally established in 1974, provides computing resources to 2,500 users and also advances research in such areas as combustion, climate change, computational biology, materials science, data intensive computing and fusion energy.

The colloquia will be held in April, May and June 1999 at Berkeley Lab's Washington, D.C., office, 1250 Maryland Ave. SW, starting at 9 a.m. The series is open to members of government agencies and the interested public. Here is a schedule of the talks:

April 9"Reinventing the Supercomputer Center at NERSC - Again"
Horst Simon, NERSC Division Director
April 16"Supercomputing and the Fate of the Universe"
Saul Perlmutter, Supernova Cosmology Project Leader
(Co-recipient of Science Magazine's 1998 Breakthrough of the Year)
April 23"Computational Challanges in Structural and Functional Genomics"
Teresa Head-Gordon, Berkeley Lab Staff Scientist
May 4"Computational Fluid Dynamics and Combustion Modeling"
Phil Colella, NERSC Applied Numerical Algorithms Group Leader
(Recipient of IEEE's 1998 Sidney Fernbach Award)
May 14"Data Intensive Computing at NERSC"
Robert Lucas, NERSC High Performance Computing Research Department Head
May 21"NERSC Terascale Production Computing in the Next Decade"
Bill Kramer, NERSC High Performance Computing Department Head
June 4 "Handling Large Data Sets in Biology"
Manfred Zorn/Sylvia Spengler, NERSC Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics Co-Directors
June 18"Materials Science at the Teraflop Level"
Andrew Canning, NERSC Scientific Computing Group
(Co-recipient of 1998 Gordon Bell Prize)
