Clarkson University is building a computational cluster (ACRES: Accelerating Computation Research for Engineering and Science) to support data and computationally intensive projects aligned with Clarkson's four interdisciplinary research themes: Data Analytics, Healthy World Solutions, Advanced Materials Development, and Next Generation Healthcare. ACRES facilitates the conduct of high-impact, collaborative research that requires access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources, enables research currently not practical/feasible, and also supports student-learning opportunities through credit-bearing courses, undergraduate research, and an existing NSF REU site focusing on HPC. As a campus resource, ACRES is made available to any faculty member or student at the University according to queueing policies implemented to ensure fair-access. And, ACRES supports Clarkson's increased focus on computational research and a cluster hire of computationally active faculty. The ACRES compute cluster replaces an existing, five-year-old high-performance compute cluster whose computational capacity provided 1.05M core-h/yr. Research need for computational capacity has grown to an identified total of 8.5M core-h/yr. ACRES is sized to meet current demands and modest near-term growth with unused computational capacity being shared via the Open Science Grid (OSG) to benefit the broader scientific community. This new computational resource provides 9.8M core-h/year through 1120 cores, high-speed Infiniband interconnect, four NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs, and 40 TB of scratch storage.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

克拉克森大学（Clarkson University）正在建立一个计算集群（英亩：加速工程和科学的计算研究），以支持与克拉克森（Clarkson）的四个跨学科研究主题一致的数据和计算密集型项目：数据分析，健康世界解决方案，高级材料开发和下一代医疗保健。英亩促进了需要访问高性能计算（HPC）资源的高影响，协作研究的行为，使目前不可实际/不可行的研究还可以通过信用培养课程，本科生研究以及现有的NSF REU网站来支持学生学习机会。作为校园资源，根据实施的排队政策，可以向大学的任何教职员工或学生提供英亩，以确保公平访问。而且，英亩支持克拉克森对计算研究和计算活跃教师的群体雇用的越来越多。英亩计算集群取代了现有的五年历史高性能计算集群，其计算能力提供了1.05m的核心-H/年。对计算能力的研究需求已增长到总计850万核-H/年。英亩的大小是满足当前需求和临近增长的适度，未使用的计算能力通过开放科学网格（OSG）共享，以使更广泛的科学界受益。这种新的计算资源提供了9.8m的Core-H/年至1120核，高速Infiniband InterConnect，四个NVIDIA TESLA V100 GPU和40 TB的Scratch Storage。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
