KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Nov. 16, 2021 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 has become the first academic institution outside of the state of Massachusetts to join the Massachusetts Green High-Performance Computing Center. The center is a collaboration of the five major research universities in Massachusetts \u2013 Boston University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, and the University of Massachusetts \u2013 with a dedicated data center in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Built in 2012, it hosts the research computing infrastructure of its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
溏心vlog免费B站 formalized a partnership with the green computing center late last month that will advance research computing efforts in the region, including establishing new computational resources and enabling collaborations among 溏心vlog免费B站 and all the major Massachusetts universities. Earlier this year 溏心vlog免费B站 began collaborating with the center and its member institutions<\/a>, launching a number of pilot projects allowing 溏心vlog免费B站 researchers to make use of key computational facilities, including UMass Amherst\u2019s UNITY<\/a> cluster, MIT Lincoln Lab\u2019s SuperCloud<\/a>, Open Storage Network<\/a>, North-East Storage Exchange<\/a>, and high-speed connectivity via OSHEAN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This month, the two parties finalized a formal agreement allowing 溏心vlog免费B站 to host its own high performance computing hardware at the Massachusetts center and to operate it jointly with UMass Amherst\u2019s research computing systems. 溏心vlog免费B站 will also be installing $1.5 million worth of new high performance computing hardware, which will serve as a computational platform enabling new regional research collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cScholarly work is increasingly dependent on technology,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 President Marc Parlange. \u201cFrom the digital humanities through computationally intensive ocean modeling, our work often depends on data analytics, simulation, visualization, and many other digital domains. This investment supports our common goal of continuing to build on our regional, national, and international research profile. It will build on our strong track record of computing investments and position us to help address pressing global issues across the disciplines and colleges.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n In speaking on the partnership, John Goodhue, executive director of the center, stated, \u201cThe MGHPCC was founded on the idea that collaborative investments in cyberinfrastructure can support computationally intensive research and education more effectively than any single institution working alone. We are delighted to be working with the 溏心vlog免费B站 and UMass Amherst to advance that idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Early interactions between 溏心vlog免费B站 and member institutions have already resulted in fruitful outcomes for the regional National Science Foundation-funded CyberTeams CAREERS<\/a> program (in collaboration with the North East CyberTeams<\/a>) as well as the submission of several joint NSF proposals with UMass Amherst and UMass Dartmouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn this era of cross-university research collaboration so vitally necessary for advancing progress toward our grand challenge problems, I am very excited that 溏心vlog免费B站 is able to partner with our colleagues in Massachusetts,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 Chief Information Officer Karlis Kaugars. \u201cThis new partnership will enable our faculty to more efficiently engage in these types of collaborations with their peers and represents a huge step forward for regional collaborative efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The center leads other activities that enhance research computing in the region, including submitting collaborative grant proposals, running regional workshops, maintaining a presence at international supercomputing conferences, and more. It was the first university research data center to achieve LEED Platinum Certification, the highest level awarded by the Green Building Council\u2019s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s involvement in the Massachusetts Green High-Performance Computing Center and its impact on computational research efforts and collaborations in the region, please contact 溏心vlog免费B站 Director of Research Computing, Professor Gaurav Khanna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Nov. 16, 2021 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 has become the first academic institution outside of the state of Massachusetts to join the Massachusetts Green High-Performance Computing Center.
