CC* Compute: Compute Cluster for Computational Sciences at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center – New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO)

路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心新奥尔良（LSUHSC-NO）的这个项目构建了一个名为Tigerfish的可扩展的26节点高性能计算集群（HPC）。Tigerfish为LSUHSC-NO研究人员提供了对HPC资源的不间断本地访问，以实现和加速他们的生物医学研究。该项目为新的和现有的HPC用户提供培训，以方便他们过渡到利用Tigerfish和其他国家可用的HPC资源，以满足其研究日益增长的计算需求。Tigerfish支持LSUHSC-NO多个学科的研究和教育，包括生物信息学，生物统计学，计算生物学，遗传学，计算基因组学，微生物学，神经学和蛋白质组学。该项目对社区产生了更广泛的影响，包括培训下一代研究人员，作为老虎学者计划的一部分，该计划为高中生提供了接触HPC研究能力的机会。Tigerfish可作为支持高中，本科和学士后学生暑期研究计划的计算资源，为来自全国各地的学生提供暑期研究经验。Tigerfish为我们提供了一个重要的平台，帮助我们与那些缺乏高性能计算资源的地区性黑人学院和大学建立联系。最近推出的生物信息学和基因组学计划能够访问虎鱼作为其高度密集的计算需求的重要资源，并作为新成立的MS生物医学科学-生物信息学轨道计划的资源。最后，Tigerfish资源与LSUHSC-NO的开放科学网格共享，以发挥其作用，使HPC在全国范围内更容易获得。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。

This project at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO) constructs a scalable 26-node high-performance computing cluster (HPC) named Tigerfish. Tigerfish provides LSUHSC-NO researchers with uninterrupted, local access to HPC resources to enable and accelerate their biomedical research. The project provides training to new and existing HPC users to ease their transition to utilizing both Tigerfish and other nationally available HPC resources to meet increasing computational needs of their research. Tigerfish supports research and education within multiple disciplines at LSUHSC-NO including Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Genetics, Computational Genomics, Microbiology, Neurology, and Proteomics. This project has broader impacts for the community including training the next generation of researchers as a part of the Tiger Scholars program which provides high-school students with the opportunity to be exposed to the capabilities of HPC in research. Tigerfish is available as a computing resource supporting a high school, undergraduate, and postbaccalaureate student summer research program that provides summer research experiences to students coming to study at LSUHSC-NO from various parts of the country. Tigerfish provides an essential platform for our outreach to regional historically black colleges and universities which lack their own HPC resources for intensive computing. The recently launched Bioinformatics and Genomics program is able to access Tigerfish as an essential resource for their highly intensive computational needs and serves as a resource for the newly established MS Biomedical Sciences-Bioinformatics Track program. Finally, Tigerfish resources are shared with Open Science Grid for LSUHSC-NO to play its part in making HPC more accessible nationally.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.
