This project is for the acquisition of High-Performance Computing (HPC) cyberinfrastructure (CI) on behalf of Colorado State University (CSU). The CI includes a 1,344 core HPC system with 28 nodes, and switches/interconnects providing 10+ Gigabits per second access to the new nodes. This upgrade to CSU’s computational capacity is part of the condo cluster within the Alpine HPC system being deployed in stages at the University of Colorado, Boulder (UCB). The long history between CSU and UCB through successful collaboration on the Summit HPC system ensures a seamless transition from Summit to Alpine use for CSU researchers. The HPC/CI complements the outstanding innovation and discovery at the CSU campus, with a principal focus on NSF funded research areas at CSU, such as weather forecasting and modeling climate change, next-gen solar cell design, genome characterization, design of extreme ultraviolet lasers, hardware acceleration for artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics. The HPC/CI is accessible to the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium (RMACC), which is a regional HPC consortium of academic and research institutions spanning nine states, including under-represented groups in under-served, rural communities. CSU-Pueblo, a Hispanic-serving institution, is a full partner and benefits from this CI. Enhancements to educational offerings at CSU will provide training and promote HPC use among diverse disciplines. CSU is the largest single producer of STEM graduates in Colorado, and HPC components will be integrated into this STEM curricula and K-12 teacher training programs, with an emphasis on inclusion of women and under-represented minorities.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.

该项目代表科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）收购高性能计算（HPC）网络基础设施（CI）。CI包括一个包含28个节点的1,344个核心HPC系统，以及提供每秒10+千兆访问新节点的交换机/互连。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校（UCB）正在分阶段部署Alpine HPC系统中的公寓集群，CSU的计算能力升级是该系统的一部分。通过在Summit高性能计算系统上的成功合作，CSU和UCB之间的悠久历史确保了CSU研究人员从Summit到Alpine的无缝过渡。HPC/CI是对科罗拉多州立大学杰出创新和发现的补充，主要关注于科罗拉多州立大学由美国国家科学基金会资助的研究领域，如天气预报和气候变化建模、下一代太阳能电池设计、基因组表征、极紫外激光器设计、人工智能硬件加速和生物信息学。HPC/CI可被落基山高级计算联盟（RMACC）访问，该联盟是一个区域性的HPC联盟，由横跨九个州的学术和研究机构组成，包括服务不足的农村社区中代表性不足的群体。加州州立大学普韦布洛分校是一所为西班牙裔服务的机构，是该中心的全面合作伙伴，并从中受益。加强科罗拉多州立大学的教育将提供培训，并促进HPC在不同学科中的应用。科罗拉多州立大学是科罗拉多州最大的STEM毕业生单一生产者，HPC组件将整合到STEM课程和K-12教师培训计划中，重点是包括女性和代表性不足的少数民族。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
