Welcome & Opening Remarks
Richard Gerber (NERSC)
A
Get
started
I
wanted
to
just
give
everybody
a
really
really
brief,
introduction
to
nursing
nurse
kids
in
case
you're,
not
familiar
with
it,
and
just
that
little
context.
For
the
day
we
call
ourselves
the
admission
HBC,
our
performance
Computing
for
center
for
the
office
of
Science
in
the
department
of
energy,
and
what
that
means
to
us
is
that
we
have
the
unique
mission
of
supporting
of
the
research
in
the
office
of
science.
A
That
needs
some
kind
of
science
at
scale
or
that
needs
some
needs
Computing
and
data
resources
that
they
they
can't
get
anywhere
else,
and
so
that
that's
what
we
do
and
if
you're
not
familiar
with
the
office
of
science,
that
the
span
of
science
that
goes
on
that
is
supported
by
that
office
is
very
Broad.
And
these
are
the
six
areas
that
the
office
divides
itself
into.
A
And
so
we
can
exchange
from
climate
to
energy
physics
to
plasma
physics
and
Fusion
Energy,
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
the
one
in
the
upper
right
is
basically
what
they
call
Basic
Energy
sciences
and
that's
actually
our
biggest
contingent
of
users.
And
that
includes
all
the
materials
science
and
the
chemistry,
and
one
thing
that's
interesting
about
that
in
in
the
context
of
quantum
Computing-
is
that
that
most
of
the
most
of
the
systems
that
that
people
are
interested
in
that
area
are
inherently
Quantum
and
have
a
Quantum
nature
themselves.
A
Interesting
thing
is
down
at
the
bottom:
is
the
laboratory
science
of
scale?
So
we
are
really
looking
at
solving
the
big
problems,
so
we're
interested
in
the
problems
that
really
push
technology
and
push
what's
available
in
HPC
and
and
that's
really
where,
where
we
we
stand
in
the
ecosystem
of
computing,
can
you
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
one?
A
Just
by
the
Numbers,
we
have
a
lot
of
users.
We
have
close
to
10
000
users
now
and
again
getting
close
to
a
thousand
institutions
around
the
world
from
all
50
states
in
many
countries
to
look
at
the
demographics.
It's
a
little
bit
interesting
and
some
people
may
not
realize
this
for
a
National
Lab.
Most
of
our
users
are
actually
what
I
call
early
career
scientists,
either
graduate
students
or
postdocs
or
undergrads,
and
most
of
our
users
actually
sit
at
universities.
A
And
so
more
by
the
numbers
at
the
end
of
the
day.
What's
really
the
end
result
that
we're
really
interested
in
is
is
the
fact
that
that
we
are
acknowledged
in
over
2
000
referees
scientific
journal
articles
per
year.
So
that's
really
what
I
focus
is
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
enable
and
go
ahead
to
the
next
one.
Okay,
well,
let
me
say:
go
backwards.
Katie
I
said
a
minute
ago.
A
If
you
look
at
the
word
cloud,
that's
the
top
science
areas
last
year
and
energy
physics
stands
out,
but
if
you
combine
Material
Sciences
and
chemical
Sciences
materials
and
science
and
chemistry
that
this
is
actually
the
largest
portion
of
our
workload
Instagram,
so
this
is
kind
of
a
busy
slide.
We
just
want
to
throw
it
up
here
to
show
you
the
systems
and
the
resources
that
we
do
have
available
to
our
users.
Pearl
Mudder
is
our
new
system.
A
It's
still
this
early
pre-production
phase
and
Jay
is
going
to
describe
a
lot
more
about
promoter
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes,
and
chlorine
is
our
system
that
we
are
going
to
retire
in
the
next
few
months.
Probably,
and
what's
interesting
actually
about
both
these
systems
is
that
they
were
first
systems
that
are
removing
the
the
broad
nurse
workload
into
kind
of
energy,
efficient
Computing.
So
Corey
was
the
first
system
we
ever
had.
A
So,
okay,
you
can
go
ahead
to
the
next
one
and
we
literally
do
our
to
see
ourselves
as
having
a
leadership
in
HPC,
so
moving
the
office
of
science,
research
Community
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
Next
Generation
Technologies,
whatever
this
might
happen
to
be,
and
just
as
a
reminder
over
on
the
right.
That's
the
applaud
of
the
the
radians
are
the
the
actually.
A
Flops
that
were
able
to
be
achieved
on
the
top
500
systems
over
the
years.
So
if
you
look
back
for
about
the
last
35
years,
you
see
this
exponential
growth
and
capability,
and,
and
so
our
users
and
the
science
Community
has
just
come
to
expect
that
and
there's
a
lot
of
open
questions
about
how
do
we
continue
to
to
extend
that
curve
into
the
future
when
we're
having
lots
and
lots
of
technology
challenges
that
we
can't
just
continue
to
make
faster
and
faster
single
floor
and
even
single
ship
processors?
A
So
one
of
the
things
we're
looking
at
a
lot
of
course
is
is
quantum
and
how
that
might
be
an
enabler
for
science
going
into
the
future.
So
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we
have
a
lot
of
material
science
and
chemistry,
research,
that's
apparently
Quantum
and
we
just
had
the
end
of
our
period
for
making
new
applications
for
the
for
2023
usage
of
nurse,
and,
if
you
look
at
just
in
the
essentially
the
abstract
of
those
proposals
about
30
percent
of
them
explicitly
mentioned
the
word
Quantum.
A
So
that
gives
you
some
idea
about
the
kind
of
research
that
goes
on
at
nurse
and
so
we're
really
looking
into.
As
I
said,
how
can
we
enable
our
user
base
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
opportunities
that
might
be
provided
by
a
quantum
computer
or
a
Quantum
computation?
So
what
are
we
doing?
We're
hiring
people
like
Katie
and
Dan,
who
are
here
they're
engaging
in
a
lot
of
collaboratory
research
in
many
spaces
in
this
area
and
we're
also
using
our
resources
to
try
to
support
quantum
research
in
many
different
ways.
A
I
think
Katie
again,
we'll
talk
more
about
that
a
little
bit
too
so
okay
to
go
back
to
the
next
slide,
so
welcome
enjoy
the
day
and
I
really
want
to
give
thanks
to
the
organizers
of
today,
Katie,
Dan
and
Neil,
and
they
really
were
the
driving
force
for
this,
and
it
was
provide
the
inspiration
and
all
the
hard
work
you
have
to
organize
the
event
too.
So
thank
you.
