This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Researchers at Tennessee Tech University (TN Tech) are making significant upgrades to the campus computing infrastructure that will significantly improve the university researchers’ and students’ ability to perform, enhance, and expand their systems-oriented, algorithms-oriented, or applications-oriented research activities. This enhanced new computing infrastructure complements other investments already made, in-progress, or in-planning at TN Tech. This modern campus cluster will enable TN Tech to grow and sustain the HPC culture by expanding on its current NSF-funded CyberTraining activities to include hundreds of faculty and their undergraduate students from resource-limited institutions from across the southeast. This new cluster will help TN Tech to build a regional resource for computational capacity and workforce development expanding opportunities to underrepresented groups in the region.This award allows TN Tech to procure a state-of-the-art, cost-effective 10 node GPU cluster supporting 20 NVIDIA A100 GPUs, 1280 AMD Epyc2 CPU cores, and 5 TiB of main memory connected with 100 Gbit/s Infiniband. The cluster provides capabilities not previously available on campus. This project team anticipates significant research projects in computational fluid dynamics, biomechanics, and geospatial analysis, which will engage four partner universities. Seventeen ongoing research projects including 3 teaching projects will directly benefit from the improved infrastructure. Additional research projects will be enabled over time as the PIs and the planned internal advisory committee attract additional researchers and students requiring heterogeneous HPC. The project team expects about 100 of College of Engineering Ph.D. students will use the HPC infrastructure for their research.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.

该奖项由2021年《美国救援计划法》（公共法117-2）全部或部分资助。这增强了新的计算基础架构完成其他已经进行的投资，在TN Tech的过程中或计划中。这个现代的校园集群将通过扩大其当前NSF资助的Cyber​​training活动，包括数百名教职员工及其本科生，从东南部的资源有限的机构包括数百名教师及其本科生，从而使TN Tech能够发展和维持HPC文化。 This new cluster will help TN Tech to build a regional resource for computational capacity and workforce development expanding opportunities to underrepresented groups in the region.This award allows TN Tech to procure a state-of-the-art, cost-effective 10 node GPU cluster supporting 20 NVIDIA A100 GPUs, 1280 AMD Epyc2 CPU cores, and 5 TiB of main memory connected with 100 Gbit/s Infiniband.该集群提供了以前在校园中无法使用的功能。该项目团队预计，计算流体动力学，生物力学和地理空间分析中的重要研究项目将吸引四个合作伙伴大学。包括3个教学项目在内的17个正在进行的研究项目将直接从改进的基础设施中受益。随着PIS和计划的内部咨询委员会吸引其他需要异质HPC的研究人员和学生，随着时间的推移，其他研究项目将随着时间的流逝而启用。该项目团队预计约有100个工程学院博士学位。学生将使用HPC基础设施进行研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估，被认为是宝贵的支持。
