Abstract:

The National Research Grid Initiative (NAREGI) Project was a
research and development on the grid middleware from FY2003 to
FY2007 under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Now we are in the phase of

Abstract:

Tensor decompositions become increasingly important in analyzing
high-dimensional and multi-index data, such as the wind velocity
distribution on longitude, latitude, vertical coordinates over time.
So far, tensor decompositions are mainly used for dimension

Summary
Berkeley Lab anticipates several openings for post-doctoral fellows in the NERSC Division to address the challenges of petascale computing on new multicore architectures. The fellows will work with high-profile applications in the areas of bioscience, fusion, climate and material science as well as in the development of scalable algorithms and novel language implementations for modern petascale systems. The fellows will have access to leading edge computational platforms as well as prototypes of experimental systems and close interaction with DOE Office of Science Principal Investigators who are receiving significant allocations of high-end computer time under the ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge. Interaction with faculty and students of the University of California, Berkeley and other major research universities is available depending on the specific project. The fellows will have the opportunity to gain experience in the NERSC production environment facility and practical knowledge of the skills necessary for deployment of large-scale multi-user hardware and software.
