Dear NERSC Users, We are pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the 2020 NERSC Early Career High Performance Computing Achievement Awards. Awards will be made in the following two categories: High Impact Scientific Achievement: This award will recognize work that has or is expected to have an exceptional impact on scientific understanding, engineering design for scientific facilities, or a broad societal problem. Innovative Use of High Performance Computing: This award will recognize researchers who have used NERSC’s resources in innovative ways to solve a significant scientific problem or have provided a new methodology with the potential to have a large scientific impact. Examples might include application of HPC to a new scientific field or combining computing, data, networking, and edge services to do something entirely new in a domain where HPC is already established. Eligibility: The awards recognize scientific research that used NERSC resources during allocation years 2019 and/or 2020. Any NERSC user who – at the time of the cited accomplishments – was a student or had received their degree during or after 2015 is eligible. Previous year's recipients are featured at NERSC HPC Achievement Awards <http://www.nersc.gov/science/nersc-hpc-achievement-awards/> The deadline for nominations is Friday, February 19, 2021. Nominations are submitted online. See: NERSC Achievement Awards Early Career Nomination Form <https://www.nersc.gov/science/nersc-hpc-achievement-awards/nominate-early-career/> Recipients will be invited to give a NERSC seminar and will be featured in a press release and story on the NERSC web site. Each recipient will also receive up to 1 million NERSC hours from the NERSC Director’s Reserve to apply to their scientific research. Selections will be made by representatives from the NERSC User Group Executive Committee (NUGEX) and NERSC staff. Selections will be made based on innovations and achievements where NERSC resources were critically important. Those resources can be any combination of computational systems, storage systems, and/or NERSC services.
