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”
