PROJECT TITLE :

Delivering Science on Day One

ABSTRACT:

Whereas benchmarking software is useful for testing the performance limits and stability of Argonne National Laboratory's new Theta supercomputer, there's no substitute for running real applications to explore the system's potential. The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility's Theta Early Science Program, modeled after its highly successful code migration program for the Mira supercomputer, has one primary aim: to deliver science on day one. This text offers a nearer take a look at the kind of science issues that can get early access to Theta, a next-generation machine being rolled out this year.
