ECP Updates

• Reminder that there is a $20K limit for equipment/materials. If over 20K is needed, approval from ORNL office is needed.
• FY21 funding is out.
  • Under $300K: all money sent. Over, 50% is sent out. The second 50% of FY21 funding will hopefully be out by end of Q1 in FY21.
  • Your lab will probably take some time for that money to be available for charging, but can start pushing if low on funds.
• Early ALCF system, Yarrow is arriving in August.
• Does anyone need access to Tulip for early ORNL system?
• Let's think about possible highlights
  • App engagement
  • Success with porting (e.g. run on Aurora)
  • Engagement with other ST teams (e.g. using Kokkos)
• Special ECP issue of Transition to Accelerated Nodes
  • Decided to have an article summarizing publications showing device portability + use cases.

Roundtable

Rename master branch?

• Need to wait for some changes to git before the transition (for some automated features of repo).
• Can we for a time have a master that mirrors the new default?
  • Don't know, but seems possible. Will have to look into that.
