Blue Waters 
is a petascale computing system under construction by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. The National Science Foundation is soliciting proposals for computing time for this resource , which should be operational in 2011.

Area of Interest: Given that a fully effective HIV/AIDS vaccine is unlikely to be available for the foreseeable future, we must combine available prevention interventions in an optimal manner for each high-risk population and setting on an ongoing basis. More powerful computing is required to formulate and examine these strategies in a comprehensive manner, similar to MIDAS' successful influenza project
