The Molecular Science Computing Facility is soliciting proposals

Richland 11 June 2001 The Molecular Science Computing Facility (MSCF) in the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in the USA is soliciting proposals, for allocations of computer time, for Computational Grand Challenge Projects of 3-year duration in environmental molecular science basic and applied research areas that address the environmental problems and research needs facing the U.S. Department of Energy and theUS Nation.

Computational resources at the MSCF include 512-, 104-, and 64-processor IBM SP computer systems, with plans to upgrade to at least 2 to 3 Teraflops in early 2002. Other resources include a 20-Terabyte storage management system and molecular science software. Award allocations are typically 250,000-500,000 processor wall-hours per year.

For details about the MSCF and the Call for Proposals, including the proposal form and instructions, see http://www.emsl.pnl.gov:2080/docs/tms/mscf/proposals/.

Important Dates:

  • August 1, 2001: Receipt of Abstract, Team List, and Allocation Requested
  • August 15, 2001: Receipt of Completed Proposal Form
  • October 1, 2001: Announcement of Awards
