Congratulations to Dr. Tony Skjellum on being named the 2020-21 Vice Chair of the Accelerated Scalable Computing and Analytics Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing (ACM SIGHPC) Chapter. The scope of SIGHPC specialty is high performance computing (HPC) in the broadest sense of the term spanning the full range of high-performance technologies, systems, and applications. It embraces not only people who study, develop, teach, or support HPC, but…
SimCenter–the Center of Excellence in Applied Computational Science and Engineering–is ready to support COVID-19 projects by bringing together UTC professors and students with its extensive computational infrastructure and research thrusts. SimCenter works with external entities on joint proposals to NSF, DoD, and others (including mechanisms such as SBIR, STTR, EAGER, RAPID) in the areas of advanced modeling and simulation, machine learning, big data, cyber systems and IoT, health and…
Experts in HPC, production engineering, modeling/simulation, uncertainty quantification, STEM education, control systems, cybersecurity, machine/deep learning, software engineering, and CPS/IoT are invited to a pair of NSF-funded, 2-day Workforce Development Workshops to strategize educational approaches to digital twin modeling and simulation.

The primary audience of applicants is professors beginning their tenure-earning position between July 1, 2019 and February 1, 2020. The secondary audience is tenured professors who seek to “restart their research programs.” Any tenure-earning professors who started at UTC after January 1, 2019, and did not apply to the CEACSE Faculty Initiation grant in FY2019 are eligible to apply in FY2020. The maximum individual award amount is $15,000, with no…
The Department of Biology, Geology and Environmental Science and the SimCenter – Center of Excellence in Applied Computational Science and Engineering are organizing the First Southeastern Computational School at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (flyer). The workshop will be held on May 21-23, 2019 and is focused on Environmental DNA Methods. The developers of QIIME 2 will be offering training in this open-source software. The workshop is free…
Keynote by GORDON BELL, HPC Pioneer “Man vs. Machine: The Challenge of Engineering Programs for HPC”The first era of scientific computing was defined by Seymour Cray computers hosting single memory FORTRAN programs. In 1993, the first multicomputer with a thousand independent and interconnected computers outperformed mono-memory supercomputers at 60 gigaflops. In 2019, supercomputers have millions of processing elements and operate at hundreds of petaflops. This performance gain of over…
