NSF Grant Solicitation in Computational Physics due Dec 3

Hey everyone,

The National Science Foundation (United States) just put out a solicitation
for Computational Physics. I will be moving in the middle of 2016 and am
considering another postdoc, so I wouldn't be eligible as a PI (i.e. I
would not be eligible to take a grant with me if I happened to win one).
But, I might be interested in helping prepare a grant if our research
interests and/or tools line up well.

According to the solicitation:

Computational Physics (CP) supports research for computational and
> data-enabled science. The program emphasizes novel methods for
> high-performance computing that require significant code development.
> Priority will be given to proposals that, in addition to compelling
> scientific goals, have a computational advance or new enabling capability.
> Proposals should include either innovation in computing, such as algorithm
> development and efficient use of novel architectures, or provide
> significant improvement to community codes.

I would like to note that my work on C::Blocks
<https://github.com/run4flat/C-Blocks> (embedding a C JIT compiler in the
Perl parser) is nearing alpha stage and will soon see the first public
release to CPAN. If the presence of a fast C jit compiler would strengthen
your NSF proposal, I'd be happy to discuss the work in greater depth.
