  3. Who We Support In 2006, NSF allocations support • 500 PIs • 174 institutions • 44 states + D.C. • Projects funded by NSF, NIH, DOE, NASA, DOD and other sources

  4. How We Can Help You • If your work has outgrown departmental or campus resources • If certain users are taking over your lab’s cluster • If you can’t invest the time or staff to manage and operate compute resources • If you teach a course that would benefit from hands-on access to high-end resources If you want your office back…

  5. SDSC Compute Resources • DataStar • 2,368 Power4+ processors • IBM p655 and p690 nodes • 6.5 TB total memory • Up to 2 GBps I/O to disk • TeraGrid Cluster • 524 Itanium2 IA-64 processors • 1 TB total memory • Intimidata • Only academic IBM Blue Gene system • 2,048 PowerPC processors • 128 I/O nodes SDSC’s DataStar

  6. SDSC Data Resources • 1 Petabyte Storage-area Network (SAN) • Collections Disk Space • GPFS-WAN • 18 PB StorageTek tape library • DB2, Oracle, MySQL • Storage Resource Broker • HPSS

  7. UC Academic Associates Special program for UC campuses www.sdsc.edu/user_services/aap You can request a starter account in just a few minutes. Development Allocation Committee (DAC) awards up to 10,000 CPU-hours or 1 TB of disk All you need is an abstract and CV. Larger allocations awarded through merit-review of proposals by panel of computational scientists. Types of Allocations

  8. New: Storage Allocations • SDSC now making disk storage and database resources available via the merit-review process • SDSC Collections Disk Space • >200 TB of network-accessible disk for shared data collections • TeraGrid GPFS-WAN • ~200 TB parallel file system attached to several TG compute systems • Portion available for long-term storage allocations • SDSC Database • Dedicated disk/hardware for high-performance databases • Oracle, DB2, MySQL

  9. 10 Minutes to an Allocation • https://pops-submit.ci-partnership.org/ • Create a POPS user ID. • Login. • Click on “New.” • Click on “0-10,000.” • Click on “DAC-SDSC.” • Fill out PI Info, Proposal Info, and Resource Request screens. • Upload your CV. • Press “Final Submission.”

  10. Medium and large allocations • Requests of 10,001-200,000 SUs reviewed quarterly. • MRAC • Requests of more than 200,000 SUs reviewed twice per year. • LRAC • Requests can span all NSF-supported resource providers • Multi-year requests and awards are possible • For details, seehttp://www.teragrid.org/.
