Announcements

The PEARC Steering Committee is now accepting nominations for steering committee members at large as well as the 2025 conference general chair. Please consider who you might nominate for these roles and help us spread the word within your communities!

New ML Benchmarks for Scientific Discovery

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is soliciting the next round of proposals for computer time on Anton 2, a special-purpose supercomputer for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation designed by D. E. Shaw Research (DESRES). Anton 2 enables biomolecular simulations running nearly 100 times faster than the state of the art on traditional supercomputers. Anton 2 is made available without cost by DESRES and supported by NIH for non-commercial research use by universities and other not-for-profit institutions. Proposals are due on Thursday June 29, 2023.

For researchers with the largest-scale computational, analysis, and storage needs, requests for Maximize ACCESS allocations can be submitted during the period of March 15 - April 15. Approved allocations will begin or renew on July 1, 2023. 

Rosen Center for Advanced Computing personnel will observe Purdue University's winter break from 5:00pm EST on Thursday, December 22nd, 2022, and will resume normal business hours on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023.

During this time, Anvil services will continue to be available, but all staff will be on leave.

DELTA Resource Users,

We apologize for any duplication.

We are happy to announce that the National Science Foundation approved the transition of DELTA to full production. The official start date of production will be September 19th, 2022. Please be aware that computational usage by jobs on DELTA ending after Noon (Central Time) Monday, 9/19/22 will be charged against your allocations.

Note that ACCESS awards can be managed on DELTA at https://allocations.access-ci.org/requests.

Update 1

SDSC is seeking a small number of researchers interested in exploring the NSF-funded AI supercomputer, Voyager, which is currently in the testbed phase at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Voyager is based on Intel’s Habana Lab AI processors and provides a unique opportunity to use AI focused hardware for exploring AI in science and engineering.

Update 1

The following sentence in our recent announcement needs clarification:

• "XSEDE support for Globus and Grid Community Toolkit client software, including the myproxy, gsi-openssh, and globus-url-copy commands, will end. "

XSEDE will no longer support the Globus Toolkit client software, and the Grid Community Toolkit client software, which provide the legacy commands myproxy-init, myproxy-logon, gsi-openssh, and globus-url-copy.
