This project at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO) constructs a scalable 26-node high-performance computing cluster (HPC) named Tigerfish. Tigerfish provides LSUHSC-NO researchers with uninterrupted, local access to HPC resources to enable and accelerate their biomedical research. The project provides training to new and existing HPC users to ease their transition to utilizing both Tigerfish and other nationally available HPC resources to meet increasing computational needs of their research. Tigerfish supports research and education within multiple disciplines at LSUHSC-NO including Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Genetics, Computational Genomics, Microbiology, Neurology, and Proteomics. This project has broader impacts for the community including training the next generation of researchers as a part of the Tiger Scholars program which provides high-school students with the opportunity to be exposed to the capabilities of HPC in research. Tigerfish is available as a computing resource supporting a high school, undergraduate, and postbaccalaureate student summer research program that provides summer research experiences to students coming to study at LSUHSC-NO from various parts of the country. Tigerfish provides an essential platform for our outreach to regional historically black colleges and universities which lack their own HPC resources for intensive computing. The recently launched Bioinformatics and Genomics program is able to access Tigerfish as an essential resource for their highly intensive computational needs and serves as a resource for the newly established MS Biomedical Sciences-Bioinformatics Track program. Finally, Tigerfish resources are shared with Open Science Grid for LSUHSC-NO to play its part in making HPC more accessible nationally.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.

该项目在路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心新奥尔良（LSUHSC-NO）构建了一个可扩展的26节点高性能计算集群（HPC），名为Tigerfish。 Tigerfish为LSUHSC-NO研究人员提供了不间断的本地访问HPC资源的访问，以实现和加速其生物医学研究。该项目为新的和现有的HPC用户提供了培训，以减轻其过渡到利用虎鱼和其他全国可用的HPC资源来满足其研究的计算需求。 Tigerfish在LSUHSC-NO的多个学科中支持研究和教育，包括生物信息学，生物统计学，计算生物学，遗传学，计算基因组学，微生物学，神经病学和蛋白质组学。该项目对社区产生了更大的影响，包括培训下一代研究人员，这是老虎学者计划的一部分，该计划为高中生提供了机会，有机会接触HPC的研究能力。 Tigerfish可作为计算资源提供，以支持高中，本科生和后的学生夏季研究计划，该计划为来自该国各地的LSUHSC-NO学习的学生提供暑期研究经验。 Tigerfish为我们对缺乏自己的HPC资源进行密集计算的区域历史黑人学院和大学提供了一个必不可少的平台。最近启动的生物信息学和基因组学计划能够访问Tigerfish作为其高度密集的计算需求的重要资源，并作为新成立的MS BioMedical Sciences-BioInformatics Track计划的资源。最后，Tigerfish资源与开放科学网格共享，用于LSUHSC-NO，以使HPC在全国范围内更加易于访问。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的。
