Do you teach a university class? Consider applying for a classroom allocation on Derecho.
As part of NSF NCAR’s mission to support atmospheric science and education, faculty and instructors at any two- or four-year U.S. institution can use HPC and analysis resources from NSF NCAR in their courses in Earth systems science and related areas.
Classroom allocations can also be used for shorter-term training courses and workshops aimed at the university community, with the goal of developing a skilled workforce relevant to all aspects of NSF NCAR’s mission. “Special projects” or honors thesis courses under the guidance of a faculty member are eligible.
Individual accounts are provided to all students and the instructor(s), so be sure to allow at least a week for setting up accounts. Very large classes may require more setup time. NSF NCAR can provide consulting assistance to the instructors.
