The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) has been funded to acquire and deploy a system called Frontera, a powerful new advanced computational instrument for Science and Engineering (S&E) research. The name of the system is inspired by Vannevar Bush's paper "The Endless Frontier", which led to the establishment of the National Science Foundation in 1950. Bush argued that science was humanity's last frontier, leading to an endless stream of innovation and discovery that would improve the human condition. Today, computation is one of the most critical tools to advance more deeply into the Endless Frontier. Frontera provides a system of unprecedented scale in the NSF advanced computational portfolio that will yield productive science on day one, while also preparing the community for the shift to even more capable future systems. When deployed, the system will provide more than three times the performance of the current NSF leadership-class computing resource and enable S&E discoveries across a broad range of domains that were not possible otherwise. This project supports the Frontera acquisition plan with the operations and maintenance plan during the production life of the system.The plan for Frontera operations and maintenance is anchored by an experienced team of partners and vendors with a community-leading track record of performance. The project will support the system through a comprehensive project plan, including first-class user support and training, education, outreach, documentation, data management, visualization, analytics-driven application support, and research collaboration. The plan also features a dedicated, broad-based science team, selected to ensure that S&E applications run effectively on a resource of this scale. Frontera will support big science in virtually all S&E disciplines through a dedicated leadership-class computing science team, deep computational science engagements of the Collaborative Support team, and the innovative use of containers. Additionally, the Frontera system will support a broad range of software services, including Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) to support an evolving user base that will make more extensive use of science gateways, automated workflows, and web services. The project will develop new expertise and techniques for leadership-class computing and data-driven applications that benefit future users worldwide through publications, training, and consulting. Furthermore, the Frontera project will serve as a bridge for the S&E community to future systems in 2024 and beyond. The project will leverage the team's unique approach to education, outreach, and training activities to prepare new and current users for leadership-class computing and to encourage, educate, and develop the next generation of computational researchers. The team includes leaders in campus bridging and minority-serving institution (MSI) outreach, and will use data technologies that will increase the number and diversity of people using leadership-class computing for traditional and data-driven applications.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

德克萨斯州高级计算中心（TACC）已获得资助，以获得和部署一个名为Frontera的系统，这是一个强大的新的先进计算仪器，用于科学和工程（SE）研究。这个系统的名字是受万尼瓦尔·布什的论文“无尽的边疆”的启发，该论文导致了1950年美国国家科学基金会的成立。布什认为，科学是人类最后的边疆，它会带来源源不断的创新和发现，从而改善人类的状况。如今，计算是更深入地进入无限前沿的最关键工具之一。Frontera在NSF高级计算组合中提供了一个规模空前的系统，该系统将在第一天产生富有成效的科学，同时也为社区向更强大的未来系统的转变做好准备。当部署时，该系统将提供超过当前NSF领导级计算资源三倍的性能，并在广泛的领域实现S E发现，这是不可能的。该项目支持Frontera在系统生产寿命期间的运营和维护计划。Frontera运营和维护计划由经验丰富的合作伙伴和供应商团队负责，他们拥有社区领先的业绩记录。该项目将通过一个全面的项目计划支持该系统，包括一流的用户支持和培训、教育、外联、文件、数据管理、可视化、分析驱动的应用程序支持和研究协作。该计划还设有一个专门的，基础广泛的科学团队，选择，以确保S E应用程序有效地运行在这种规模的资源。Frontera将通过专门的领导级计算科学团队，协作支持团队的深度计算科学参与以及容器的创新使用，支持几乎所有S E学科的大科学。 此外，Frontera系统将支持广泛的软件服务，包括应用程序编程接口（API），以支持不断发展的用户群，从而更广泛地使用科学网关、自动化工作流程和Web服务。 该项目将为领导级计算和数据驱动应用开发新的专业知识和技术，通过出版物，培训和咨询使全球未来的用户受益。 此外，Frontera项目将成为SE社区通往2024年及以后未来系统的桥梁。 该项目将利用该团队独特的教育、推广和培训活动方法，为领导级计算的新用户和现有用户做好准备，并鼓励、教育和培养下一代计算研究人员。该团队包括校园桥接和少数民族服务机构（MSI）外展的领导者，并将使用数据技术，这将增加使用领导级计算的传统和数据驱动应用程序的人数和多样性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
