[CIG-ALL] Early-Use Opportunities for the Geosciences on NCAR's Yellowstone System, Due January 13, 2012

[Louise Kellogg]

Dear CIG Community: 

See below for a new opportunity for supercomputing resources for the geosciences. 

Best wishes,

Louise

>>> Everyone,
>>>  
>>> Please see the notice below, which announces the NCAR Accelerated Scientific Discovery opportunity on the new NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputer Center (NWSC). This will make the new NWSC supercomputing facilities (the 1.6-petaflops ‘Yellowstone’ system) available to a small group of early users from May 2012, prior to their becoming more generally available later in the summer. The deadline for submissions is January 13th, 2012.
>>>  
>>> The announcement has been revised to include university-led projects in any geosciences domain that meet the eligibility criteria. It has been circulated to NCAR’s mailing list of approximately 3,000 users, mostly in the atmospheric and related sciences. Please feel free to pass it on to anyone else in your community who may be interested.

>>> 
>>> UPDATE: We're resending this announcement to highlight a clarification to the ASD eligibility requirements posted online. Eligible projects may span all of the geosciences and supporting computational sciences.
>>> 
>>> CISL is pleased to announce the availability of dedicated, large-scale resources on NCAR's recently announced Yellowstone system from approximately May through July 2012 as part of its Accelerated Scientific Discovery (ASD) initiative for university and NCAR research.
>>> 
>>> NSF-supported university researchers interested in applying for ASD computational resources can view eligibility and proposal requirements at: https://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/allocations/asd. Applications are due January 13, 2012.
>>> 
>>> NCAR researchers interested in applying for ASD computational resources may view eligibility and proposal requirements at: https://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/allocations/2012nsc/instructions. NCAR ASD projects will be chosen from submissions for NCAR Strategic Capability (NSC) projects, also due on January 13, 2012.
>>> 
>>> The Yellowstone system will be a 1.6-petaflops IBM iDataPlex cluster with 74,592 Intel Sandy Bridge EP cores, 149.2 TB of memory, and 11 PB of parallel disk storage. Yellowstone is expected to deliver nearly 30 times the capacity of NCAR's current Bluefire system.
