EOTC Technical Overview (1)

• Overview of Efforts for Year 1
• Training Registration
• Currently, registration local at each Component,
  Soon to be implemented in OKC, Standard
  registration form developed for OKC
• Training Schedule
• Current schedule kept at ERDC by Technologist,
  Posted on ERDC web site, Eventually to be
  implemented in OKC
• Training Content - Generated by FAPOCs, based on
  user demand
• 4 CE courses at 4 different locations (Component
  1)
• 1 ET course, 1 SIP course (Component 2)
• 5 CFD courses at 3 locations, 2 EOTC seminar
  series (Component 3)
• 3 CCM courses at 2 locations, 1 CEN course, 1 CEA
  course (Component 4)

EOTC Technical Overview (2)

• Overview of Efforts for Year 1
• 6 of the 18 Summer Interns for Components 1, 2, 3
  for Summer 2002 are grad students (Selection
  pending for Component 4)
• Summer Intern Program
• 3 components centralized this contract year
• Goal is to include the 4th component in the
  centralized system next contract year.
• OKC staff working with Component Technologists to
  develop and implement Training Registration
  Wizard
• User requirements

EOTC Technical Overview (3)

• Overview of Efforts for Year 1
• MSI program
• 5 of the 18 Summer Interns at Components 1, 2, 3
  for Summer 2002 are from MSIs
• Selection Pending for Component 4
• JSU Working with Dr. Willie Brown on reduced
  scope proposal, Summer Institute in core
• CAU 2 proposals requested for next contract
  year, Visiting Faculty proposed for next contract
  year, Graduate student Assistance
• FIU Working with them for next years proposal
  process Assisted in OKC development
• UH Tailoring program to meet PET needs
• CSU Presentation at ASC, Workshop planned June
  7, 2002
• HPTi (other MSIs) UTEP included in CE project

Technical (Metrics)

• User Codes Impacted by PET
• Will begin this contract year to ask the question
  specifically.
• Several of those who took Advanced MPI said they
  would use some of the calls they learned in their
  codes but codes were generally not named.
• Parallel Methods helped high resolution wave
  propagation models
• Parallel Processing Techniques will be applied in
  student projects in large scale computing in
  solid mechanics and materials
• Knowledge will be used immediately and often
