A Training Program in High Performance Computing for the Physical Sciences

我们节目的主题是粒子模拟。为了解决物理问题，我们将包括：在大规模并行计算机上执行最先进的模拟所必需的计算机科学、应用数学和物理科学。创造使用并行计算机驱动可视化引擎的工具。模拟与实验相结合。对于大型实验项目，模拟是其计划和解释的关键。通过专注于一个单一的计算主题，我们将建立一个跨越几个部门的有凝聚力的计划。该培训计划将由天文学、化学和计算机科学联合管理。我们的项目有以下几个主要特点：它是一个有凝聚力的多学科项目，有一个正式的部门之间对学生的联合监督机制。我们将培训科学家和工程师使用高性能计算机进行模拟、分析和可视化。我们安排了在政府实验室和工业界的暑期实习。我们提出了一个具体的行动计划，以提高我们计划中的妇女和少数族裔的数量，直到它反映出美国人口的多样性。

The theme of our program is particle simulation. In order to solve physical problems, we will include: The computer science, applied math and physical science necessary to perform state-of-the-art simulations on massively parallel computers. The creation of tools to use parallel computers to drive visualization engines. Integration of simulation with experimentation. For large experimental projects, simulations are key to their planning and interpretation. By concentrating on a single computational theme, we will build a cohesive program spanning several departments. The training program will be jointly administered by Astronomy, Chemistry and Computer Science. Our program has the following key features: It is a cohesive multidisciplinary program with a formal mechanism of joint supervision of students between departments. We will train scientists and engineers in the use of high performance computers for simulation, analysis and visualization. We have arranged summer internships at government labs and in industry. We propose a specific program of action to improve the number of women and minorities in our program until it reflects the diversity of the US population.
