CC* Compute: HPC Services for the Colorado State University System

本项目旨在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包括一个具有28个节点的1，344核HPC系统，以及提供每秒10+位访问新节点的交换机/互连。CSU计算能力的升级是Alpine HPC系统内公寓集群的一部分，该系统正在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校（UCB）分阶段部署。CSU和UCB之间通过在Summit HPC系统上的成功合作而建立的悠久历史确保了CSU研究人员从Summit到Alpine的无缝过渡。HPC/CI补充了CSU校园的杰出创新和发现，主要关注NSF资助的CSU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可供落基山高级计算联盟（RMACC）访问，RMACC是一个跨九个州的学术和研究机构的区域HPC联盟，包括服务不足的农村社区中代表性不足的群体。CSU普韦布洛，一个西班牙裔服务机构，是一个全面的合作伙伴，并从这个CI受益。CSU对教育产品的改进将提供培训，并促进HPC在不同学科中的使用。科罗拉多州立大学是科罗拉多州最大的STEM毕业生单一生产商，HPC组件将被整合到这个STEM课程和K-12教师培训计划中，重点是纳入妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

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.
