The US National Science Foundation supports an ecosystem of computing facilities housing some of the most advanced supercomputers and high-end visualization and data analysis resources. Its ACCESS program is to help researchers and educators, with or without supporting grants, to utilize the nation’s advanced computing systems and services. Its computing facilities provide “free” computing cycles at scale, storage, and other services. These resources are available through an application process based on the merit of the research objectives and demonstration of the efficacy and parallel scalability of the software.

This presentation aims to explain the capabilities of various computing facilities under the ACCESS program. The discussion will also discuss how a UCLA researcher can transition from local computing systems to take advantage of the “free” advanced computing and data resources.
