Driving UK HPC enabled science and innovation through US collaborations 2014

我们建议继续EPSRC英国-美国高性能计算网络，以支持英国-美国在高性能计算（HPC）相关领域的合作，特别强调发展该领域年轻研究人员的职业生涯。该网络旨在通过提高英国社区与美国HPC社区的参与度，提高英国HPC支持科学和创新的竞争力。一项双管齐下的战略侧重于通过旅行赠款支持基层的个人合作，以及发展和维护与美国大学超级计算中心、国家实验室和XSEDE等关键组织的联系（极端科学和工程发现环境）（创新和新颖的计算对理论和实验的影响）;和CASC（学术科学计算联盟）。在前一年，EPSRC英国-美国HPC网络资助了10名研究人员，主要是职业生涯初期的研究人员，参加在科罗拉多丹佛举行的超级计算会议（SC 13）。这被证明是一个受欢迎的倡议-我们收到了21份申请，尽管资金呼吁只公布了两个星期。正如我们在SC 13后报告中所详细介绍的那样，这在英国和美国之间建立新的合作和专业关系方面非常成功。该网络还促进了CASC与英国HPC-SIG之间的合作。这有可能成为英国和美国大学超级计算中心的统一网络。

We propose a continuation of the EPSRC UK-USA High Performance Computing Network to underpin pump priming of UK-USA collaborations in high performance computing (HPC) related areas, with a special emphasis on developing the careers of young researchers in the field. The network aims to increase the competitiveness of UK HPC enabled science and innovation by improve the UK's community's engagement with USA's HPC community. A two pronged strategy focuses on supporting individual collaborations at the grass roots level through travel grants, as well as developing and maintaining links with USA university supercomputing centres, national laboratories and key organizations such as XSEDE (Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment); INCITE (Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment); and CASC (Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation).In the previous year the EPSRC UK-USA HPC network funded 10, primarily early career, researchers to attend Supercomputing Conference (SC13) in Denver Colorado. This proven to be a popular initiative - we received 21 applications although the funding call was only advertised for two weeks. As detailed in our post-SC13 report this was found to be highly successful in creating new collaborations and professional relationships between the UK and USA. The network also catalyzed cooperation between CASC and the UK HPC-SIG. This has the potential to a unified network of across supercomputing centers at universities across the UK and USA.
