The U.S. Department of Energy's Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program is accepting proposals for high-impact research campaigns in science, engineering and computer science.
The submission period for proposals runs April 10-June 16, according to an April 10 Oak Ridge National Laboratory news release. The INCITE program provides researchers with access to large allocations of computer time and resources at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility and the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, both of which are DOE Office of Science User Facilities.
"We're excited to enable researchers to push the frontiers of discovery for breakthroughs in science and engineering," DOE Director of Science Bronson Messer said in the release.
Overall, the INCITE program provides researchers with a unique opportunity to undertake ambitious, large-scale computational research projects that would not be feasible without the resources of the ALCF and OLCF, the release said. The program’s 2024 call for proposals represents a significant opportunity for scientists and engineers to leverage the power of supercomputers to drive innovation in science and technology.
“DOE’s leadership-class supercomputers are world-leading scientific tools, and the INCITE program provides researchers entry to these valuable resources to the open science community,” ALCF Director of Science Katherine Riley said in the release. “We are proud to say that INCITE can support the most ambitious, long-term research campaigns.”
Proposals undergo a peer review process to identify the projects which might have the greatest potential for impact and a demonstrable need for leadership-class systems to deliver solutions to challenges, the release reported. Additional evaluation will go into the projects' computational readiness to determine how each project will used the requested systems.
"With the 2024 INCITE call, we are looking to support the most computationally demanding projects in the world, including modeling, data and machine learning — projects that would not be possible without the resources of the leadership computing facilities," OLCF Director of Science Bronson Messer said in the release. "We're excited to enable researchers to push the frontiers of discovery for breakthroughs in science and engineering."
