NCAR researchers and computational scientists are encouraged to submit requests for NCAR Strategic Capability (NSC) projects to be run on the Cheyenne system. Requests will be accepted through March 24. NSC allocations target large-scale projects lasting one year to a few years that align with NCAR’s scientific priorities and strategic plans.
Cheyenne will continue in operation through mid-2022. Allocations for NCAR’s recently announced
next-generation supercomputer that will become operational early in 2022 will be made this fall. CISL will also solicit requests in the fall for Accelerated Scientific Discovery projects to be the first to run on the new system.
You should be aware that the NSC panel is scrutinizing requests for storage resources much more closely because of the rapidly growing scale of the data generated and constraints on the available storage within the CISL environment. Also, remember that your NSC proposals should now describe the project’s relationship to the new NCAR strategic plan.
