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.

该项目为宾夕法尼亚州立大学24个校区系统的研究人员建立了一个新的最先进的高吞吐量计算集群。 该集群由10个AMD EPYC节点组成，每个节点具有128个核心和一个A40 Nvidia GPU。引力和宇宙研究所以及计算和数据科学研究所的研究人员是该集群的优先用户，他们使用该计算机集群：通过分析数据来研究宇宙，以找到空间中称为引力波的涟漪;研究追踪宇宙中称为暗物质的失踪物质的新方法;并寻找其他恒星周围的行星。新的计算集群改善了所有宾夕法尼亚州立大学研究人员对计算的访问，希望加快科学、技术、工程、和数学通过参与宾夕法尼亚州立大学的项目“研究创新与科学家和工程师（上升）”网络团队（NSF OAC-2018299）。该集群连接到开放科学网格，通过在大学之间共享资源来支持具有竞争力的美国研究，从而加强国家网络基础设施的结构。宾州州立大学还计划利用这一资源为专注于数据分析、计算、物理和天文学的学生举办年度暑期学校。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
