SciDAC Outreach
Overview
The Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC)
Outreach Center is a clearinghouse of SciDAC activities and
resources. The Center
- provides information and services in support of SciDAC
objectives, including outreach, training, and research
- fosters communication within the High Performance Computing
(HPC) community
- delivers SciDAC technologies to new communities
- helps disseminate SciDAC accomplishments
Additionally, the Center gathers data to understand the needs of
the HPC community to identify workshops, summer schools, institutes
and research topics to meet those needs.

Email and Telephone Support
The Center operates a first-level support and Q&A
line for matters related to SciDAC and DOE high performance computing:
- 1-866-470-5547
- help@outreach.scidac.gov
The Outreach Center can answer questions about SciDAC resources and
technologies. We also seek to put appropriate parties in contact with
each other to guide successful research and technology deployments.
Innovative Web and Information Services
The Center deploys electronic services that bring the
producers and consumers of SciDAC technologies together. This website
includes a groupware resource with (for each SciDAC project):
- software repository
- bug tracker
- mailing lists
- task manager
- a wiki
Additional services under consideration include project FAQs,
and a calendar of workshops, meetings and events.
If you have suggestions or ideas about web services that would make
SciDAC software more accessible or useful to exisiting or new audiences
please contact us.
Outreach and Training
The SciDAC Outreach Center organizes one or two training sessions
per year on topics that address the immediate needs of the HPC community
as discerned from the Center's ongoing communications with that
community. For the sake of cost-effectiveness, whenever possible, these
sessions are conducted in conjunction with other meetings such as the
Supercomputing conference and the annual SciDAC meeting. In addition, the
SciDAC Outreach Center will assist SciDAC Centers for Enabling
Technologies (CET) and SciDAC Institutes in publicizing their outreach
and training events (workshops, symposia, summer schools, etc.).
The Center is interested in your ideas for outreach events both
in terms of what is needed and what is availble. Please contact us if you
have suggestions about either.
Feedback
The Center conducts an annual online survey of the user
community to collect feedback about the Center itself as well as the
general needs of the HPC community. The Center also tracks trends in
daily communications, questions, and requests from the HPC community.
