ACCESS – Advancing Innovation

UCLA-IDRE is part of the Campus Champion Program. The Campus Champion, your local source of knowledge about NSF’s national high performance computing opportunities and resources, can assist in the following ways:

• Provide you with information about high performance computing resources available to researchers and educators, including resources available from ACCESS
• Assist you to quickly get access to allocations of computing resources
• Facilitate awareness and training workshops for you about the use of research computing resources and services
• Provide you with contacts within the research computing professionals community for quick problem resolution
• Provide you with timely information on new resources, services, and offerings

To learn more about available ACCESS high performance computing opportunities, contact Dr. Tajendra V. Singh, UCLA’s Campus Champion.

National Research Platform

Frontera Petascale Computing Resource Allocations

In 2018, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $60 million grant to the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) to deploy a new petascale computing system, Frontera. Frontera opens up new possibilities in science and engineering by providing computational capability that makes it possible for investigators to tackle much larger and more complex research challenges across a wide spectrum of domains.

DOE Programs

DOE centers NERSC, ALCC, and INCITE provide computing resources that researchers can apply to access.
