项目摘要

Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is awarded a grant to establish a centralized computational environment at its new Ocean Science and Education Campus in East Boothbay, Maine. Upon completion, this project will provide much needed computational infrastructure and enable Bigelow Laboratory to make a major transition to sustainable, cost-effective management of data and computational resources during the next decade. The new system will be comprised of hardware to provide expanded Parallel Processing Power, improved short-term Storage Capability, and Cloud Backup/Archival options for researchers at the institutional level, and MVC Framework Software for business operations in the National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota (NCMA) at Bigelow Laboratory. The resulting computational environment will meet the current research needs of the Laboratory, and will allow for scalable expansion to meet future research needs. Bigelow Laboratory supports several ongoing education initiatives that require computing resources to meet their objectives: the Keller BLOOM program for high school students, the NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, college-level courses taught by Bigelow Senior Research Scientists through an academic partnership with Colby College, the Professional Development Workshop for Science Teachers, and the Bigelow Postdoctoral Education Program. Each of these initiatives will greatly benefit from an enhanced computational environment since it is often difficult to procure adequate resources that provide students, educators and postdocs with the ability to analyze their data and continue to collaborate with Laboratory researchers beyond time spent at Bigelow. The environment resulting from this funding represents a significant computational expansion that will meet the growing needs of these educational initiatives and will provide Bigelow Laboratory with the ability to expand the educational scope of these programs and the freedom to develop future offerings centered on high performance computing.

毕格罗海洋科学实验室获得一笔赠款，在其位于缅因州东布斯贝的新海洋科学和教育校园建立一个集中的计算环境。完成后，该项目将提供急需的计算基础设施，并使毕格罗实验室能够在未来十年内实现向可持续的、具有成本效益的数据和计算资源管理的重大转变。新系统将由硬件组成，为机构级研究人员提供扩展的并行处理能力，改进的短期存储能力和云备份/存档选项，以及用于毕格罗实验室国家海藻和微生物群中心（NCMA）业务运营的MVC框架软件。由此产生的计算环境将满足实验室目前的研究需求，并将允许可扩展的扩展，以满足未来的研究需求。毕格罗实验室支持几个正在进行的教育计划，需要计算资源，以满足他们的目标：凯勒布卢姆计划高中学生，NSF资助的本科生研究经验（REU）计划，大学水平的课程由毕格罗高级研究科学家通过与科尔比学院的学术合作伙伴关系，科学教师的专业发展研讨会，毕格罗博士后教育计划。这些举措中的每一个都将大大受益于增强的计算环境，因为通常很难获得足够的资源，为学生，教育工作者和博士后提供分析数据的能力，并继续与实验室研究人员合作，而不是在毕格罗度过的时间。从这笔资金产生的环境代表了一个显着的计算扩展，将满足这些教育计划日益增长的需求，并将提供毕格罗实验室的能力，以扩大这些计划的教育范围和自由开发未来的产品集中在高性能计算。有关Bigelow实验室的更多信息，请访问网站http://www.bigelow.org。
