This project establishes a new state-of-the-art high-throughput computing cluster for researchers across the 24-campus Penn State University system. The cluster is composed of 10 AMD EPYC nodes, each with 128 cores and one A40 Nvidia GPU. Researchers in the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos and the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, priority users for the cluster, use this computer cluster to: study the universe by analyzing data to find ripples in space called gravitational waves; investigate novel ways to track down the universe’s missing matter called dark matter; and search for planets around other stars.The new computing cluster improves access to computing for all Penn State researchers in the hopes of accelerating the pace of discovery across a broad spectrum of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through projects engaging the Penn State “Research Innovation with Scientists and Engineers (RISE)” CyberTeam (NSF OAC-2018299). The cluster is connected to the Open Science Grid bolstering the fabric of national cyberinfrastructure that supports competitive US research through sharing resources across universities. Penn State also plans to use this resource for annual summer schools for students focused on data analysis, computing, physics, and astronomy.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.

该项目为整个24校园宾夕法尼亚州立大学系统的研究人员建立了一个新的最新高通量计算集群。该簇由10个AMD EPYC节点组成，每个节点都有128个核心和一个A40 NVIDIA GPU。重力研究所，宇宙研究所以及计算与数据科学研究所，集群的优先用户，使用此计算机群集来研究宇宙：通过分析数据来研究宇宙以在称为引力波的太空中找到涟漪；调查追踪宇宙缺失物质的新颖方法，称为暗物质；并搜索其他恒星周围的行星。新计算集群改善了所有宾夕法尼亚州立大学研究人员的计算访问，以期通过与宾夕法尼亚州立大学的“与科学家和工程师（Rise）的研究创新相关的项目，可以加速广泛的科学，技术，工程和数学的发现空间”。该集群与开放的科学网格相连，增强了国家网络基础设施的结构，该结构通过在大学之间共享资源来支持美国的研究。宾夕法尼亚州立大学还计划将此资源用于年度暑期学校，以专注于数据分析，计算，物理和天文学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估值得支持。
