The Blue Waters system, the largest and most powerful NSF system, provides computational science and engineering teams with an effective, scalable, sustained-petascale computing platform at unmatched levels. NCSA has established a comprehensive support and outreach program by working closely with the teams that are using Blue Waters and with the larger computational science and engineering community, to enable them to take full advantage of the extraordinary capabilities of Blue Waters as well as those provided by similar systems such as Kraken, Stampede, Keeneland, Titan, and future petascale computing systems. This program, named NCSA/Illinois Enhanced Intellectual Services for Petascale Performance (NEIS-P2), includes a significant community outreach component aimed at enabling the general NSF computational science and engineering community to make effective use of petascale systems. The Community Engagement component includes activities to help prepare the next generation of petascale computational experts through a coordinated set of courses, workshops, fellowships and internships.The newly launched Blue Waters Graduate Fellows component of NEIS-P2 Community Engagement Program received more outstanding applications than can be funded with the budget available for this activity. This RAPID proposal is a request to support an additional four fellows during the 2014-2015 academic. The net result will be ten fellows supported during the first year of the Blue Waters Graduate Fellowship Program.

Blue沃茨系统是最大、最强大的NSF系统，为计算科学和工程团队提供了一个高效、可扩展、可持续的千万亿次计算平台。NCSA通过与使用Blue沃茨的团队以及更大的计算科学和工程社区密切合作，建立了一个全面的支持和推广计划，使他们能够充分利用Blue沃茨以及Kraken，Stampede，Keeneland，Titan和未来的千万亿次计算系统等类似系统提供的非凡功能。该计划名为NCSA/伊利诺伊州增强的Petascale性能智力服务（NEIS-P2），包括一个重要的社区外展部分，旨在使一般NSF计算科学和工程社区能够有效地利用Petascale系统。社区参与部分包括通过一系列协调的课程、研讨会、奖学金和实习来帮助培养下一代千万亿次计算专家的活动。新推出的NEIS-P2社区参与计划的蓝色沃茨研究生奖学金部分收到的优秀申请超过了该活动可用预算的资助。这一快速方案的建议是请求在2014-2015年学术会议期间支持另外四名研究员。最终结果将是在蓝色沃茨研究生奖学金计划的第一年支持十名研究员。
