PSC Now Accepting Proposals for Special-Purpose Supercomputer

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is soliciting proposals for computer time on Anton 3, a special-purpose supercomputer for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation designed by D. E. Shaw Research (DESRES). This 64-node third-generation Anton machine replaces and greatly enhances the capabilities of the previous generation Anton machine. It's available without cost through DESRES for non-commercial research use by universities and other not-for-profit institutions.

ACCESS Resources Available for Classroom Use

Attention students and educators: With the fall semester underway, keep in mind that ACCESS resources are available for students, instructors and classroom projects.

• Explore ACCESS, the smallest-scale allocation project type, is a great fit for smaller classes and training events. Graduate students are eligible to be principal investigators (PIs) on Explore ACCESS projects.

• Discover ACCESS allocation project type, offering medium-scale allocations, is excellent for larger classes and training events. For these projects, U.S. National Science Foundation graduate student Fellows and honorable-mention recipients can serve as PIs.

Both types of requests are accepted anytime and multiple requests are allowed. Take advantage of ACCESS resources this semester to set up classes for HPC success!

Celebrate diversity with ACCESS at the Tapia Conference

This year, ACCESS is a proud sponsor of the Tapia Conference, the premier venue to acknowledge, promote and celebrate diversity in computing. If you plan to attend the conference in San Diego, Sept. 18 – 20, come see ACCESS at the Town and Country Resort, booth #622. The Tapia Conference, named for the internationally known computational scientist and mathematician Richard A. Tapia, brings together professionals from all backgrounds, ethnicities, ability levels and gender identities to connect, converse and collaborate. The Tapia experience builds a community of diverse computing leaders that extends well beyond the conference.

ACCESS Year 2 Program Highlights Book Now Available

ACCESS debuted its annual highlights booklet at the PEARC24 conference held in July in Providence, RI. The booklet, covering Program Year 2, includes a letter from all of the principal investigators (PIs), science stories covering the broad variety of research ACCESS helped enable and a brief overview of some of the many accomplishments the ACCESS program has achieved over the last year.

We invite you to download and share this digital version with anyone you feel could benefit from free access to cyberinfrastructure resources for their research!

ACCESS is supported by the

National Science Foundation.
