CENTER ANNOUNCEMENTS

2018 OLCF USER SURVEY NOW AVAILABLE
The 2018 OLCF User Survey is now open. We truly value your feedback and encourage all users to complete this important survey. To take it, please visit https://orausurvey.orau.org/n/OLCFSurvey2018.aspx.

EOS DEFAULT MODULE CHANGES (OCT 15)
New versions of software on Eos were set as default on October 15. To view a list of the new software versions, please visit the Software News page. Please report any problems to help@olcf.ornl.gov.

APS FOCUS SESSION ON ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON PRE-EXASCALE SYSTEMS
The 2019 Annual March Meeting of the American Physical Society will hold a Division of Computational Physics focus topic session entitled Building the bridge to exascale: applications and opportunities for materials, chemistry, and biology (DCOMP 16.01.02).

This focus session will bring together researchers with experience in the effective utilization of high-performance data and compute infrastructure, including supercomputers, communication networks, and data resources to achieve breakthrough scientific results. This includes researchers at experimental facilities such as light and neutron sources with extreme data-science requirements, including machine-learning approaches, and researchers in computational materials, computational chemistry and computational biophysics with experience in large scale simulations. Also of interest software development efforts which will enable novel science on pre-exascale and emerging architectures.

The abstract submission deadline is Oct. 26, 2018. Abstracts can be submitted through the American Physics Society March Meeting website.

UPCOMING SCHEDULED OUTAGES

Rhea will be unavailable from 8:00 AM on Tuesday, October 23 until 8:00 AM on Wednesday, October 24.
