DOE Operating Systems work

Prof. Brewer:

It was good talking to you during the visit day yesterday.

I thought you might be interested in seeing what sort of Operating
Systems research the Department of Energy is sponsoring.  Here's a grant
notice (just issued today) for the OS component of the "Next Generation
Architectures" (NGA) effort:

    http://www.sc.doe.gov/grants/Fr04-13.html

The research areas are fairly wide-ranging.  My group at the Lab is
planning to submit a proposal focusing on using K42 as a platform for
HPC operating systems research.

You mentioned that you'd be amenable to meeting with some people from my
group to toss around ideas.  Are you free during the next two weeks?
Tuesday March 30th or Wednesday March 31st would be ideal, but we could
also meet next week.  I know it's short notice, but we'd like to be able
to include in our proposal any high-level ideas that come out of our
discussions.

If you're available, let me know, so I can see if specific times work
for everyone.

Thanks,
