Ten-Year University Alliances Program Nears End
Annual site reviews were held during August and September 2006 of the five ASC Strategic Alliances Program (ASAP) centers of excellence: the California Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Stanford University, and University of Utah. The reviews were conducted by the associated Tri-lab Sponsoring Team (TST) for each Center and the Alliance Strategy Team (AST). The TST Leads led the reviews.
Started in 1997, ASAP ends in 2007. Each Center’s review focused on its technical progress, its legacy (not only to its university but also to the scientific community), and its impact on the three defense laboratories. Ambitious full-system simulations for the tenth year have been planned, assuming access to the needed computational resources is available.
Each Center has made significant progress in the past year and reported on important legacies. The program’s impact on the three laboratories was discussed in terms of research collaborations, laboratory hires from the five Centers, and some transfer of scientific results and code. Review reports are being prepared for each center. The AST will also publish a summary report documenting review findings for the ASC Execs.
