University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center
The University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center (UC-HiPACC) based at the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) is a consortium of nine University of California campuses and three Department of Energy laboratories (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory). The consortium's goal is to support and facilitate original research and education in computational astrophysics and to engage in public outreach and education.
Joel R. Primack, distinguished Professor of Physics at UCSC, has directed the UC-HiPACC consortium since its inception. Peter Nugent from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory serves as the coordinator from northern California and Michael Norman from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) serves as the coordinator from southern California. The staff includes Senior Writer Trudy E. Bell, Administrator Sue Grasso, Scientific Visualization Coordinator Alex Bogert, and webmaster Steve Zaslaw. The consortium is organized at UCSC under the aegis of the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP).
The UC-HiPACC consortium, which began operating in January 2010, supports activities that facilitate and encourage excellence, collaboration, and education in astronomy across the University of California system and affiliated DOE National Laboratories. It does not directly fund research or major hardware. Instead, UC-HiPACC sponsors working groups of UC scientists from multiple campuses and labs who pursue joint projects in computational astrophysics; workshops and conferences on topics in computational astrophysics; and an annual advanced summer school on a topic in computational astrophysics.
Fourteen multi-day meetings and International Summer Schools on AstroComputing (ISSAC) were held from 2010 to 2013.
AGORA = Assembling Galaxies of Resolved Anatomy; CAS = California Academy of Sciences; CGE = Center for Galaxy Evolution; ISSAC = International Summer School on AstroComputing; LBNL = Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; NASA = NASA Ames Research Center; NSF = National Science Foundation; SDSC = San Diego Supercomputer Center; UCI = UC Irvine; UCSC = UC Santa Cruz. All participants in the journalism boot camp were professional science journalists.
In December 2010, UC-HiPACC organized a major conference on the Future of AstroComputing at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego (SDSC). UC-HiPACC provided partial support for the Enzo workshop at UCSD in spring 2010.
It organized a journalism "boot camp" on computational astronomy, called "Computational Astronomy: From Planets to Cosmos”.
Five-day workshops for galaxy researchers worldwide co-sponsored by UC-HiPACC were held at UCSC in August 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
