Dear Colleagues,

We’d like to bring to your attention an opportunity to present your breakthrough accomplishments that were enabled through the use of petascale and post-petascale supercomputing systems.

The 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society will hold a Division of Computational Physics focus topic session entitled Computational Physics at the Petascale and Beyond (DCOMP 16.1.4).

Catalyzed by the recent Presidential Executive Order creating the National Strategic Computing Initiative, the session will bring together researchers in computational materials, computational chemistry, and computational biophysics with experience in the effective utilization of high-performance data and compute infrastructure, including supercomputers, communication networks, and data resources to achieve breakthrough results. The sessions are intended to provide examples of the state-of-the-art in computational science leveraging large, national-scale infrastructure. The talks will highlight science results as well as opportunities and challenges in using energy-efficient, pre-exascale HPC systems.

The abstract submission deadline is Nov. 11, 2016. Abstracts can be submitted through the American Physics Society March Meeting website: http://www.aps.org/meetings/march/index.cfm

Sincerely,

Organizing Committee Members

Jack C. Wells (ORNL), Nichols A. Romero (ANL), Jack Deslippe (LBNL), and Barry Schneider (NIST)
