SGI Top Users

NCSA congratulates the top academic and industrial users of the center's Silicon Graphics Inc systems. NCSA's SGI system is an SGI Origin2000.

Each month NCSA Division Director John Towns notifies the top user or project on each NCSA high-performance system. Included with the congratulatory letter is a sought-after commerative item designed especially for the top users. This listing is for the more current months of awardees. Previous winners are on the archive page.

Towns also gives top user accolades to a researcher on the center's IA-32 Linux Cluster and IA-64 Linux Cluster.
