PI Meeting Encourages Communication, Collaboration
In May, the DOE's Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (OASCR) held a meeting at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Terascale Simulation Facility for Principal Investigators (PIs) in the Applied Mathematics Research (AMR) Base Program. The purpose of the two and a half day gathering was to provide an opportunity for new and continuing PIs to meet each other, learn about each other's work, and explore the possibility of engaging in collaborations.
The meeting included plenary talks, breakout sessions, and poster sessions in order to exchange technical information in selected theme areas, which this year were: Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations (PDE), Linear/Nonlinear Solvers, Optimization, and Multiscale. There was also a panel presentation on Future Architectures and a forum for open discussion with AMR program managers. It is anticipated that a series of these meetings will be held, each to be hosted by a different institution, which will highlight various selected theme areas of interest to the AMR community.
