> The ACS Peter Kollman Graduate Award in High Performance Computing has
> been created to provide supercomputer resources to outstanding students in
> the early stages of their graduate career, particularly for projects that
> need high performance computing resources for their chemistry-related
> project. Those eligible for the award are graduate students in good standing
> who are carrying out research in the broadly defined area of computational
> chemistry. Winners (or their adviser, if necessary) will be the Principal
> Investigator of a new account on the “kraken” Cray XT5 supercomputer at the
> National Institute of Computational Sciences (NICS), with an allocation of
> computing time to support the project. For information about kraken, see
> http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/computing-resources/kraken. Allocations will
> be determined based on the requested amount and consideration of resource
> availability.
> 
> 
> 
> Up to 2 awardees will be chosen on the basis of: the significance of the
> project plan, the potential impact on the project of obtaining additional
> supercomputer resources, the qualifications of the student, and the strength
> of the supporting letter and other materials. Projects with modest
> computational needs that can be performed on individual machines or small
> clusters are not likely to be competitive. Application requirements include
> a title and  extended abstract of the work (no more than 1 page), a two page
> CV, a brief letter of support from the research advisor, and a 1 page
> detailed computational plan indicating: computational resources already
> available for the project, the types of calculations to be performed,
> experience of the applicant with high performance computing, availability of
> software, justification of number and length of runs, parallel scaling data,
> and an estimate of the total time needed. Submit the application to
> carlos.simmerling at gmail.com as a SINGLE pdf or text file, and include your
> last name at the start of the file name. Use the subject “ACS Kollman AWARD
> APPLICATION”. There is a limit of one Kollman Award application per research
> lab (PI). Previous winners are not eligible.
