Jan. 20, 2021 — The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility, has extended its deadline for proposals for the ALCF Data Science Program (ADSP). Launched in 2016, the ADSP aims to build a community of researchers focused on employing data-intensive analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) at a scale that requires the ALCF’s leadership-class computing resources.
The application deadline is now February 26, 2021, 6pm US Central Time.
Program Overview
Ongoing and past ADSP projects span a diverse range of science domains, e.g. Materials, Imaging, Neuroscience, Engineering, Combustion/CFD, Cosmology; and involve large science collaborations (APS, LSST, DESC, LIGO, DES, ATLAS) and smaller research groups developing machine learning methods at scale. ADSP projects benefit from hardware and system architectures at ALCF which support data analysis and machine learning with a common software stack to allow for large scale science campaigns. The program also benefits the selected projects by offering directed assistance and computational time to gain experience scaling codes on ALCF systems, enabling future INCITE and ALCC proposals for DOE supercomputing systems.
Scientists at the ALCF partner with each ADSP project assisting in code and methods development, optimization, workflow creation, data analysis, and visualization. Example techniques and areas of research that leverage ALCF’s experience include hyperparameter optimization, uncertainty quantification, statistics, machine learning, deep learning, databases, pattern recognition, image processing, graph analytics, data mining, real-time data analysis, and complex interactive workflows.
Call for Proposals
The ADSP employs a competitive proposal process that awards allocations of compute time and data storage on ALCF supercomputers. All proposals are peer reviewed by a panel of experts for both the scientific impact and computational readiness. ADSP awards span two years and researchers from academia, government research facilities, and industry are welcome to apply. PIs will be required to submit a renewal application for the second year of the award.
