Each year, scientists participating in the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing Program (SciDAC), along with other researchers from the computational science community gather at the annual SciDAC conference to present scientific results, discuss new technologies and discover new approaches to collaboration.

SciDAC 2011 Conference chaired by Lori Diachin, LLNL, takes place July 10 -14, 2011 at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Colorado.

In addition to highlighting successes from the SciDAC program, the conference is a general celebration of computational science. We bring together computational scientists from different nations, agencies, programs, and application domains to highlight recent advances in computational science in important areas: from understanding our universe on its largest and smallest scales, to understanding Earth’s climate change and its ramifications for humankind, to developing new energy sources. Application talks will focus on performance and scaling issues. Enabling technologies talks will focus on petascale applications and architectures.

About SciDAC

Supported by the Department of Energy Office of Science, the SciDAC program brings together computational scientists, applied mathematicians, and computer scientists from across application domains and from universities and national laboratories across the United States. As a result, the computational state-of-the-art in many fields has advanced significantly, and the program has enabled studies that we could only dream about in the past. On top of this, a new infrastructure is developing for scientific advances at the petascale.
