Awards
A team from the SCL consisting of Kyle Schochenmaier, Troy Benjegerdes and Brett Bode won the SC06 Storage Challenge for small scale systems with their work titled "Trading Memory for Disk: Using Parallel Access to Fast InfiniBand Disk Arrays for Large Computational Chemistry Applications"
Brett Bode, SCL Principle Investigator and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering has received an IBM Faculty Award for 2006-2007 in support of research on fault tolerance and fault prediction.
Ricky A. Kendall, now an Ames Laboratory, Scalable Computing
Laboratory Principle Investigator, was a part of the NWChem development
effort and the Molecular Science Software R&D100 Award group.
MS3 is a comprehensive, integrated
set of tools that enables scientists to understand complex chemical
systems at the molecular level by coupling the power of advanced
computational chemistry techniques with existing and rapidly
evolving high-performance, massively parallel computing systems.
MS3 consists of three components:
- the Extensible Computational Chemistry Environment (Ecce),
- the Northwest Computational Chemistry Software (NWChem), and
- Parallel Software Development Tools (ParSoft).
The award-winning MS3 team included Jeffrey A. Nichols, Donald R. Jones, Robert J. Harrison, Ricky A. Kendall, T. P. Straatsma, Michel Dupuis, Krys P. Wolinski, Edoardo Apra, Jarek Nieplocha, George I. Fann, Rik J. Littlefield, Thomas L. Keller, Karen L. Schuchardt, Gary D. Black, Deborah K. Gracio, and Gregory S. Thomas.
