NERSC Initiative for Scientific Exploration (NISE)
NERSC allocates 10% of the total MPP hours on computational systems through the NERSC Initiative for Scientific Exploration (NISE) program. In 2012 NISE was allocated to projects for two year terms. There will not be a 2013 NISE solicitation.
Some important results obtained with NISE awards:
NISE Allows Massively Parallel Calculation of Complete Photofragmentation of the Li Atom
The first ab initio solution of a four-body problem. Read More »
Important New Method for Studying Solar Materials
Using a NERSC NISE award, researchers were able to compute the phonon-assisted interband optical absorption spectrum of silicon entirely from first principles. Read More »
