[surveyor-notify] ALCF Weekly Updates - September 8

[ALCF User Services]

*** eFixes Installed on Surveyor ***
eFixes 45 and 46 have been installed on Surveyor. Our testing has confirmed that existing binaries continue to work, so you do not need to recompile. However, custom ramdisks do not contain the new CIOD included in eFix 46, so they must be rebuilt. If no problems with the eFixes are uncovered, they will be installed on Intrepid in the near future. Details on the eFixes are available at https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/BGP_Driver_Information.

*** Register Now for "Getting Started" at the ALCF: October 4 & 5 ***
The Getting Started workshop at the ALCF provides new users with key information on services and resources, technical details of the Blue Gene/P, as well as hands-on assistance in porting and tuning applications. ALCF computational scientists and performance engineers will provide presentations and guided hands-on exercises. Topics covered will include Blue Gene/P architecture, ALCF infrastructure, debugging on the Blue Gene, and visualization systems and services. To register or for additional information, go to: http://workshops.alcf.anl.gov/gs11fall/.

*** Showcase Your Visualization Movies in the Argonne Booth at SC11 ***
The technical computing community's premier conference, SC11, will be held in Seattle, November 12-18 (see "Important Dates" below). If you are interested in having your project's visualization movies featured, please contact Chel Heinzel for submission details at chel at alcf.anl.gov. Visualization submissions are due October 7. 

*** 2012 ALCC Call for Proposals Opens ***
The ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) allocates up to 30 percent of the computational resources at the DOE Leadership Computing Facilities. Accepted projects are directly related to the DOE's energy mission, national emergency, or for broadening the community of researchers capable of using leadership computing resources. Awards are based on a peer review for scientific merit and computational readiness. Proposals are due by February 14, 2012. For information, visit: http://www.alcf.anl.gov/news/detail.php?id=605.
