NSF Funds Five New XSEDE-Allocated Systems

This summer, five new National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded advanced computing systems have been awarded to partner institutions across the country, all with their own unique specialties and applications. Once deployed, all of these systems will be primarily allocated through XSEDE to help connect researchers, regardless of physical location in the United States, to the system that best suits their research needs. "The recent announcements of awards by the NSF is a clear indicator of the NSF's re-commitment to providing critical advanced research computing capabilities to enable research in the United States and beyond," said John Towns, principal investigator and project director of XSEDE. "These resources will enable research across all fields of scholarly pursuit and XSEDE stands ready to engage researchers in harnessing these resources.". These new machines continue XSEDE's robust demonstrated tradition of world-class, cutting-edge research, including a commitment to emerging domains like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning, and more.
