CC* Regional Computing: Helping Our Researchers Upgrade their Science (HORUS)

HORUS项目将来自先前资助的NSF OSiRIS项目的现有大规模科学数据存储与广泛的计算资源相结合，以加速密歇根州和周边地区的大学，学院和社区学院的科学发现。 该项目的重点是提供对科学研究和分析所需的各种计算和存储资源的轻松访问。 这对较小机构的研究人员尤其有益，使他们能够通过加快研究速度更有效地为社会做出贡献。 此外，通过与OSG和PATh项目的连接，它将在需要时作为全国更大规模资源的入口。该项目建立了一套计算服务器，以补充现有的OSIRIS存储系统，该系统连接到密歇根州的MERIT全州研究和教育网络。该系统由4个GPU节点（每个节点配备两个A100 GPU）、10个大内存计算节点（每个节点配备两个AMD Epyc 7F72 3.2 GHz 24核处理器）和10个计算节点（每个节点配备两个AMD Epyc 7H12 2.6GHz 64核处理器）组成。该资源和相关服务为包括密歇根大学、韦恩州立大学、奥克兰大学、东密歇根大学和奥克兰社区学院在内的一系列大学提供计算服务。该奖项反映了NSF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。

The HORUS project combines existing large-scale scientific data storage from the previously funded NSF OSiRIS project with a broad range of computational resources to enable accelerated scientific discovery for universities, colleges and community colleges in Michigan and the surrounding regions. The project focuses on providing easy access to diverse computing and storage resources, both of which are required for scientific research and analysis. This will be especially beneficial for researchers at smaller institutions, enabling them to more effectively contribute to society by expediting their research. In addition, through its connection to OSG and the PATh project, it will serve as an on-ramp to even larger scale resources across the nation when that is needed.The project establishes a set of compute servers to complement the existing OSIRIS storage system attached to the MERIT statewide research and education network in Michigan. The system consists of 4 GPU nodes (each with two A100 GPUs), 10 Large Memory compute nodes (each with two AMD Epyc 7F72 3.2 GHz 24 core processors) and 10 compute nodes (each with 2 AMD Epyc 7H12 2.6GHz 64 core processors). This resource and associated services provide computational services to a suite of universities including University of Michigan, Wayne State University, Oakland University, Eastern Michigan University, and Oakland Community College.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.
