XSEDE Computing Resources
UCLA-IDRE is part of XSEDE Campus Champion Program:
The XSEDE Campus Champion, your local source of knowledge about 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 the XSEDE
- Assist you to quickly get access to allocations of high performance computing resources
- Facilitate awareness and training workshops for you about the use of high performance computing resources and services
- Provide you with contacts within the high performance computing community for quick problem resolution
- Provide you with timely information on new resources, services, and offerings
To learn more about available high performance computing opportunities, contact Dr. Tajendra V. Singh, UCLA’s XSEDE Campus Champion.
Submission periods for XSEDE’s resources:

Petascale Computing Resource Allocations
Allocation submission period: Announced every year, see the link for details
In 2013, a new NSF-funded petascale computing system, Blue Waters, was deployed at the University of Illinois. The goal of this project and system is to open 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.
