XSEDE Call for Humanities, Arts and Social Science Projects
The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) http://www.xsede.org, the National Science Foundation's leading edge computing infrastructure project to support academic scholarship, research, and education, is seeking use cases from the humanities, social sciences, and arts.
If you and your collaborators have, or need to access, large collections of digital data; if you need more computer power than you currently have access to, in order to extract knowledge from such data; if you can think of any current or potential projects that require substantial storage capacity and computing power – XSEDE would much appreciate hearing from you!
Your involvement will ensure that your requirements are conveyed to the National Science Foundation, and, in the short term, may result in XSEDE being able to help you with your most ambitious projects. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please send a note of preliminary interest to Alan Craig at acraig@ncsa.uiuc.edu including the following information:
- Your name and contact information - A brief description of the data collection(s) you need to deal with
- The size (in gigabytes, terabytes or above) of the data collection(s) - Is there room to grow the data collection(s)?
- Are the data in one place, or distributed?
- Are the data in files, or in databases?
- Does your institution host the data, or need access to them?
- Do you and your collaborators wish a wider community to access these data? If so, please provide a brief description of the community that would benefit from access to the data.
- Do you need computing power beyond your current capacity in order to analyze these data? If so, please tell us what computers you have access to and why they are insufficient for analyzing this quantity or complexity of data.
Thank you!
