XSEDE Allocation System to Receive Makeover
XSEDE is a set of resources and systems that thousands of researchers, scientists and engineers regularly use to do groundbreaking science. But how does an XSEDE user actually request time on supercomputers or ask for time with XSEDE-supported resource experts? As of now, XSEDE users turn to POPS (Partnerships Online Proposal System), a system that has been in place for users of NSF HPC users since the late 1990s. POPS, however useful it is for XSEDE, cannot be pulled out as a separate system – over the years it has become inextricably intertwined with its native environment.
Students invited to participate in XSEDE13
Multiple ways for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to get involved; funding support available Students interested or engaged in computational research are encouraged to attend and participate in the Student Program at XSEDE13, the annual conference focused on science, education, outreach, software, and technology related to the National Science Foundation's eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment.
