This project establishes a new state-of-the-art high-throughput computing cluster for researchers across the 24-campus Penn State University system. The cluster is composed of 10 AMD EPYC nodes, each with 128 cores and one A40 Nvidia GPU. Researchers in the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos and the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, priority users for the cluster, use this computer cluster to: study the universe by analyzing data to find ripples in space called gravitational waves; investigate novel ways to track down the universe’s missing matter called dark matter; and search for planets around other stars.The new computing cluster improves access to computing for all Penn State researchers in the hopes of accelerating the pace of discovery across a broad spectrum of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through projects engaging the Penn State “Research Innovation with Scientists and Engineers (RISE)” CyberTeam (NSF OAC-2018299). The cluster is connected to the Open Science Grid bolstering the fabric of national cyberinfrastructure that supports competitive US research through sharing resources across universities. Penn State also plans to use this resource for annual summer schools for students focused on data analysis, computing, physics, and astronomy.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.

该项目为宾夕法尼亚州立大学 24 个校区的研究人员建立了一个全新的最先进的高吞吐量计算集群，该集群由 10 个 AMD EPYC（每个 128 个核心）和一个 A40 Nvidia GPU 组成。引力与宇宙研究所以及计算与数据科学研究所是该集群的优先用户，他们使用该计算机集群来： 通过分析数据来寻找空间中称为“涟漪”的涟漪来研究宇宙新的计算集群改善了宾夕法尼亚州立大学所有研究人员的计算能力，希望能够加快更广泛的发现速度。通过宾夕法尼亚州立大学“科学家和工程师的研究创新 (RISE)”网络团队 (NSF OAC-2018299) 参与的项目，涵盖科学、技术、工程和数学领域。该集群连接到开放科学网格。宾夕法尼亚州立大学还计划将这一资源用于每年一度的暑期学校，为专注于数据分析、计算、物理和天文学的学生提供支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命和使命。通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，该项目被认为值得支持。
