The Blue Waters system, the largest and most powerful NSF system, provides computational science and engineering teams with an effective, scalable, sustained-petascale computing platform at unmatched levels. NCSA has established a comprehensive support and outreach program by working closely with the teams that are using Blue Waters and with the larger computational science and engineering community, to enable them to take full advantage of the extraordinary capabilities of Blue Waters as well as those provided by similar systems such as Kraken, Stampede, Keeneland, Titan, and future petascale computing systems. This program, named NCSA/Illinois Enhanced Intellectual Services for Petascale Performance (NEIS-P2), includes a significant community outreach component aimed at enabling the general NSF computational science and engineering community to make effective use of petascale systems. The Community Engagement component includes activities to help prepare the next generation of petascale computational experts through a coordinated set of courses, workshops, fellowships and internships.The newly launched Blue Waters Graduate Fellows component of NEIS-P2 Community Engagement Program received more outstanding applications than can be funded with the budget available for this activity. This RAPID proposal is a request to support an additional four fellows during the 2014-2015 academic. The net result will be ten fellows supported during the first year of the Blue Waters Graduate Fellowship Program.

Blue Waters 系统是最大、最强大的 NSF 系统，为计算科学和工程团队提供了一个高效、可扩展、持续的千万亿级计算平台，其水平无与伦比。 NCSA 通过与使用 Blue Waters 的团队以及更大的计算科学和工程社区密切合作，建立了全面的支持和外展计划，使他们能够充分利用 Blue Waters 以及由 Blue Waters 提供的非凡功能。类似的系统，如 Kraken、Stampede、Keeneland、Titan 以及未来的千万亿级计算系统。该计划名为 NCSA/伊利诺伊州千万亿次性能增强智力服务 (NEIS-P2)，其中包括一个重要的社区外展部分，旨在使 NSF 计算科学和工程界能够有效利用千万亿次系统。社区参与部分包括通过一系列协调一致的课程、研讨会、奖学金和实习来帮助培养下一代千万级计算专家的活动。NEIS-P2 社区参与计划新推出的 Blue Waters 研究生部分收到了比以往更多的优秀申请。由此项活动的可用预算提供资金。该 RAPID 提案要求在 2014-2015 年学术期间支持另外四名研究员。最终结果是 Blue Waters 研究生奖学金计划第一年将支持 10 名研究员。
