NERSC HPC Achievement Awards

January 3, 2013 - Nominations are open for the 2013 NERSC Award for Innovative Use of High Performance Computing and the 2013 NERSC Award for High Impact Scientific Achievement. These are the first of what are planned to be annual awards. Current NERSC Principal Investigators, Project Managers, and PI Proxies may nominate any NERSC user or collaboratory group. The deadline for nominations is Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013. Winners will be announced at the NERSC Users Group meeting on Feb. 13, 2013 and will be listed on the NERSC web site and highlighted in a NERSC press release. Winners will be chosen by representatives from the NERSC Users Group Executive Committee and NERSC staff.

Selections will be made based on innovations and achievements that are substantially based on work performed using NERSC resources. Those resources could be any combination of computational systems, storage systems, and/or NERSC HPC services.
