Posters
Poster sessions:
Tuesday, July 16: 3:15-5:15 pm
Wednesday, July 17: 2:30-5:00 pm
Poster guidance
Each BER SciDAC project has 2 or 3 poster slots.
PAESCAL, IMPACTS = 3 posters
All others = 2 posters
Unlike last year, where we gave specific guidance on poster topics, this year use your posters however you see fit. A high level project overview poster is not required (but could be used). Some ideas:
focus on specific exciting results
discuss ASCR/BER partnership successes
describe a computational tool that may be of interest to other projects
short summaries of progress in various project areas
high level project overview
etc.
Logistics
Participants, don’t forget to submit poster title and abstract to the meeting site:
Submit poster title/abstract by July 8, 2024:July 8, 2024:
Optional poster upload deadline: Submit your poster PDF by July 22, 2024
Planning notes for BER breakout (participants can ignore)
Thoughts from the first planning meeting on Apr 15, 2024 (Xujing, Matt, and Hui):
Many participants of last year’s meeting and even earlier SciDAC PI meetings have provided the feedback that discussions were more useful than presentations in general. Therefore, we will shorten the “presentation by project” part of the session (especially since comprehensive overviews of the projects were already presented last year) and leave more time for discussions on some topics of special interest.
Possible topics of discussion during BER breakout:
Use of AI/ML.
How are our projects using AI/ML currently? Are there any planned explorations or explorations that we wish to carry out but need help for?
Among the many different research activities that can benefit the development, evaluation, and application of E3SM (e.g., understanding observations, constructing fine-scale process models, developing parameterizations, harmonizing components in large-scale models, tuning uncertain parameters, identifying model deficiencies, etc.), are there sweet spots - or known bad hit places - for the use of AI/ML techniques?
Collaboration between SciDAC projects and the E3SM project.
What are E3SM’s development plans in the next years? We plan to get an overview from SciDAC project team members who are also on E3SM’s leadership team.
CMIP7 scenarios / new model configurations
In the context of E3SM’s planned changes in programming language as well as the anticipated changes in HPC software and hardware, how can we better position SciDAC projects for the integration of their products into E3SM?
Collaboration between domain scientists and computational scientists.
Collaborations between domain scientists and computational scientists are known to be very challenging. Colleagues who have gone through more than 1 SciDAC cycle have had the general impression that fruitful collaborations require commitment from both sides and willingness to make long-term investment. Do we have success stories and lessons to share? Are we facing any specific challenges? Are there ways to further facilitate the interdisciplinary collaborations?
Computing resource discussion
Compare notes on: what machines we run on, what computational budgets we need/use, tips and tricks for maximizing resources (e.g. queue strategies)
