Campus researchers invited to apply by Sept. 15 to use Blue Waters supercomputer
All campus researchers are invited to apply by Sept. 15 for allocations on the powerful Blue Waters supercomputer. Both exploratory and general allocations are available.
Exploratory projects (20,000-50,000 node hours) are intended to enable researchers to prepare code for Blue Waters. General allocations (30,000-1 million node hours) are intended for large-scale research projects. Proposals will be judged on their scientific and/or educational merit, their suitability for Blue Waters, and their demonstrated need for the unique capabilities of Blue Waters. For complete instructions on how to apply by Sept. 15, see https://bluewaters.ncsa.illinois.edu/illinois-allocations. Questions? Contact the Blue Waters Project Office at help+bw@ncsa.illinois.edu.
