NCAR's Computational and Information Systems Laboratory invites NSF-supported university researchers in the atmospheric, oceanic, and related sciences to submit large allocation requests for the Yellowstone High Performance Computing system by September 15, 2014.
For the Yellowstone system, computational requests greater than 200,000 core-hours are considered “large.” Smaller requests for up to 200,000 core-hours are accepted any time and are typically reviewed within two business days; visit the allocations web page for details.
The large requests will be reviewed by the CISL High-performance computing Allocations Panel (CHAP). There must be a direct linkage between the researcher's NSF award and the computational research being proposed. See the online reference for more university allocation instructions and opportunities.
Allocations will be made on Yellowstone, NCAR's 1.5-petaflops IBM iDataPlex system; the data analysis and visualization clusters (Geyser and Caldera); the 11-PB GLADE disk resource; and the HPSS archive.
All requesters are strongly encouraged to review the submission instructions before preparing their submissions. For additional information, contact David Hart, NCAR/CISL, 303-497-1234.
