This post is primarily directed at people in the UK. EPSRC UK (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) issued HPC Software Development Call for 2010/11. From their site: "This call invites proposals for High Performance Computing (HPC) software development to enable science and engineering." For full details see: http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/Calls/2010/HPCSoftwareDevelopmentCall.pdf I indend to draft a proposal for this call. I'm particularly interested in making HPC on FreeBSD ia64 a reality. Briefly, I want to propose development of an optimising MPI/OpenMP C/c++/Fortran compiler for a fbsd/ia64 cluster environment, probably based on llvm/clang. If you are in UK academia and want to participate, or if you are in business and might consider supporting a proposal of this sort (e.g. a letter of support) please get in touch directly. If you have other FreeBSD based ideas suitable for this call - I'd also love to hear. yours anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
