The ACCESS team will soon be sending out email invitations for you to participate in our annual community survey that we use to guide future work, improve ACCESS services, and provide feedback to the National Science Foundation (NSF) regarding your experience with ACCESS. Established and funded by the NSF, the ACCESS program is charged with helping researchers and educators use the nation’s advanced computing systems and services. This survey is an opportunity for researchers and educators to provide valuable feedback to help improve ACCESS services.
ACCESS Allocations introduces its new and improved Resource page, formerly called the Resource Catalog. The page is a one-stop shop for anyone seeking information on the resources available through ACCESS.
The page’s top navigation organizes information into four boxes at the top of the page:
Institutions can now connect their faculty and students directly to information about ACCESS and its resources through the new ACCESS On-Ramps product. An ACCESS On-Ramp is an inline JavaScript component that organizations can embed into their websites to allow their community to browse through ACCESS resources. The interface and filters are similar to the ACCESS Resource page to make it even easier for new audiences to discover and use powerful ACCESS resources. |
The window for submitting Maximize ACCESS proposals will close on Friday, Jan. 31. and awards will start April 1. From the Maximize ACCESS opportunity that closed last September, the Allocations team awarded nearly 1.6 billion CPU hours and more than 4 million GPU hours to 90 projects. The average project received 90% of the resources requested, and the current portfolio of ACCESS-allocated resources has room to award even more time to meritorious proposals. Information on preparing a successful Maximize ACCESS proposal can be found on the Allocations website.
The next window for submitting Maximize ACCESS proposals will open on Thursday, Dec. 12 and close on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025. Awards will start April 1, 2025. From the Maximize ACCESS opportunity that closed in September, the Allocations Team awarded nearly 1.6 billion CPU hours and more than 4 million GPU hours to 90 projects. The average project received 90% of the resources requested, and the current portfolio of ACCESS-allocated resources has room to award even more time to meritorious proposals. |
The next window to submit Maximize ACCESS applications opens on Dec. 15 and closes on Jan. 31, 2025. The next review meeting will be held in March 2025. For instructions on how to apply, please review the Prepare Requests webpage, which includes two training videos. The Allocations team will also hold two live training webinars on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, and Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. ET. When you're ready to submit your request, please do so at the link below. |
During the previous round of submissions, ACCESS received 91 Maximize ACCESS proposals submitted by 58 Principal Investigators from across the U.S. The most heavily-represented fields of science were: biophysics, materials engineering, condensed matter physics, particle and high-energy physics, and astronomy and planetary sciences. |
Attention students and educators: With the fall semester underway, keep in mind that ACCESS resources are available for students, instructors and classroom projects. |
Are you remembering how to cite ACCESS in your research papers?
To ensure continued support for the NSF-funded cyberinfrastructure ecosystem, researchers are required to properly acknowledge the contribution of the ecosystem in their papers, presentations and other published works.
Papers, presentations and other publications featuring work enabled by ACCESS should properly acknowledge the program’s contributions by citing this publication:
The Ookami team is pleased to announce the addition of two NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchips (144 Arm Neoverse V2 CPU cores with Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE2)).
The new nodes are now available to all Ookami users. If you are interested in using them, get an allocation on Ookami.
