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 the NISE program has 110 million hours to allocate. This year we are particularly interested in large scale and data intensive proposals.
In early March 2012 awards were made to 22 projects; there will be no further calls for proposals this year.
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 »
