Proposals

Abstract

Over the last few years, the STF allocation on Hyak has provided an invaluable resource to students pursuing their computational interests, leading to over 100 student-led publications, presentations at conferences nationwide, and enabling students to get a head-start on their computational careers. The oldest portion of Hyak is reaching its end-of-life and will be retired this year (by June 2020), which houses a portion of the previous STF allocation. In order to keep up with an increasing student demand to use these resources and to provide students with access to modern technologies that they are likely to encounter once graduating, we are seeking to replace the portion of the STF allocation on First-Gen Hyak with cutting-edge resources on the current (Next Gen) Hyak allocation. Funding this proposal will enable students’ computational research and ensure that the University of Washington remains a leader in supercomputing research and training for its students.
