Apply to use Blue Waters

Blue Waters is available to researchers anywhere in the United States through the National Science Foundation's Petascale Computing Resource Allocation program. To learn more about applying for a Petascale Computing Resource Allocation, see http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/BlueWaters/prac.html.

Each year that Blue Waters is in operation, about 3 to 4 million node-hours will be allocated to projects from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As each node has many powerful cores, this is significantly more computing power than most universities have available for their use, and this resource provides Illinois faculty and staff with a unique opportunity to perform groundbreaking work in computational science. Applications for 2013 are due by Feb. 15.

Some time on Blue Waters is reserved for educators and students. For more information, contact help+bw@ncsa.illinois.edu.
