More Computing Resources
ACCESS
The Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) is a program established and funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation to help researchers and educators, with or without supporting grants, to utilize the nation’s advanced computing systems and services, such as:
- Bridges-2, a supercomputer resource of Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, designed for converged HPC + AI + Data.
- Jetstream2, a cloud-based and on-demand virtual machine service hosted by Indiana University, that also includes discipline-specific apps.
- Stampede3, an HPC at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, with over 140,000 total cores and over 339 TB of RAM.
- Open Storage Network, a distributed data sharing and transfer service, with storage host sites across the country, and is connected to the R&E network between 40 and 100GBit.
Montana Tech researchers and students have made use of ACCESS and its predecessor, XSEDE, for the expanded computing resources.
NCAR/CISL
NCAR, National Center for Atmospheric Research through CISL, The Computational and Information Systems Laboratory, offers computing resources to university researchers with some restrictions:
- The work must be within the atmospheric, climate, and related science
- Allocations must either be supported by an NSF reward; or to a grad student, post-doc or new faculty without a funded science award
