The local-industrial council Naot Hovav published the tender for the construction of a council building and a "Keshim" center for industrial chemistry and sustainability in Naot Hovav. The council building and the "Keshrim" center were designed by Israel Prize laureate architect Ada Karmi-Melamed. Bemana will be built as part of the lobby complex, which will include an area for industry and light crafts, a vocational training school, a commercial area and a regional integrated emergency and rescue center.
The "Keshrim" center will serve as a home for the first chemistry museum in Israel and will be an international regional center of excellence for the promotion of chemistry. The center will connect Jews and Arabs, Israelis, Jordanians and Palestinians living in the area for the sake of the science of life - chemistry. The center is part of the implementation of the strategic plan to turn Navot Hovav into the first eco-industrial park of its kind in Israel, which is run according to the principle of synergy, similar to existing models in Europe and the world. The tour of the center will also include a mounted tour of Navot Hovav Park with the help of innovative technological aids. The visit plans to the center will be adapted both for private visitors and for various groups, including soldiers and permanent personnel who will serve in the training camp that is currently being set up at the Negev junction.
An ecological garden will be built near the center which will be used for learning and experiential experience for visitors in the content world of sustainability and ecology. The content for the contact center and the ecological garden is planned by the "Orfan" group led by Yaron Meiri who designed and established visitor centers and museums in Israel and abroad.
In light of the scope of the project, the council this morning published three tenders related to the establishment of the center - a tender for construction and finishing works, a tender for the execution of electrical and air conditioning works and a tender for the execution of aluminum works. The contractors can submit bids for one of the tenders or for all three together. The last date for submitting tenders is set for 29.8.13. The head of the council Andrey Ozan said that he believes that the construction work can be started already in the first quarter of 2014.
Head of Naut Hovav Council, Andrei Ozan: "The publication of the tender for the establishment of a contact center is another expression of the revolution that has taken place in the Negev in recent years. The establishment of the center is possible thanks to the tremendous positive environmental change that is taking place here and the development momentum that has changed the face of the place. I believe that with the help of important partners we will be able to meet the schedule we set for the project and the plans surrounding it in the lobby complex."
A student from Tel Aviv University won a place in the PRACE summer program for researching high performance systems (HPC)
The Israeli research community secured its place in PRACE, the most advanced research infrastructure in Europe for the study of high-performance systems (HPC)
The Interuniversity Computation Center (MCA), the national network for research and education in Israel and a provider of communication infrastructure, digital technologies, research services and a grid for academic and industrial research, is proud to announce that the student Mordechai (Moti) Butrashuili won a place in PRACE's High Performance Systems (HPC) summer program (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe). Boutrashuili is now at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen after completing training together with the other participants of the program in Edinburgh, Scotland. Botarashuili will investigate the Earth's past, present and future climate simulations using the most advanced technological means. Moti is a student in the Department of Geophysics and Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Tel Aviv University in the Raymond and Berly Sackler Faculty of Exact Sciences.
The summer program for researching high-performance systems offers undergraduate students, and students in the early stages of their master's or third degree, the opportunity to spend two months at the center for researching high-performance systems in the partner countries in the PRACE initiative. The summer program encourages students to continue researching high performance systems. Moti is one of 24 students carefully selected from over 200 applicants.
The project that Moti investigates (Accelerate routines within the CCSM4 project using GP-GPU) will try to answer the growing demand in the Community Climate System Model (CESM using GP-GPU. The CESM model is a global climate model that provides advanced computing solutions for climate simulations. In order to improve the simulations, the levels of resolution and complexity of the model are frequently large, Moti's team will analyze the CCSM4 model and try to identify operations that will benefit from the use of GP-GPU and adapt them to work in this environment.
"I am very happy that I was chosen for this specific project because it is relevant to the geophysical academic work that I am engaged in both in a technical sense and in a scientific sense," said Moti. "I am thankful for this great experience and the opportunity to meet and collaborate with many other young scientists. Just as importantly, I am proud to represent Israel, Tel Aviv University, and Israeli science in general as part of the research group."
The Interuniversity Computing Center began representing Israel in PRACE in 2013. Israel is one of the 25 countries participating in the PRACE consortium. The membership allows Israeli researchers in academia free access to research resources worth hundreds of millions of Euros, and to programs such as the summer program for researching high-performance systems. PRACE's supercomputers are among the fastest in the world. They cost over 400 million euros, and are mostly financed by the European Union.
"The decision to join PRACE is part of our commitment to align with the research needs of the Israeli research and science communities, and an important step towards achieving a supercomputer in Israel. We are excited to contribute to the pan-European effort," said Prof. Shlomi Dolev, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Hebrew Bible. "Membership in PRACE is part of the Israel Defense Forces' goal to provide high-performance networks and new technologies, and to promote the resources and assets in Israel."
PRACE's research infrastructure is open to Israeli research with a distinct European and international impact. The call for new projects is made twice a year through OPEN CALLS. declaration. The proposed projects go through a peer-review process and are evaluated by leading scientists and engineers.
In addition, the Israel Defense Forces is proud to host the PRACE Winter Seminar on the campus of Tel Aviv University in February 2014. This seasonal seminar offers a special two-part program: in addition to the classic hands-on training and experience, the program includes mini-workshops on "The Future of High-Performance Systems : Israeli Innovation", in which Israeli companies and researchers in the fields of high-performance systems will present their work. The practical experience will focus on an introductory workshop on PRACE resources. The experience Boutrashuili will gain in Copenhagen this summer will be an addition to the seasonal seminar in Tel Aviv, where he will assist as an instructor.
