Acknowledging the support of NCAR and CISL computing when you publish research results helps ensure continued support from the National Science Foundation and other sources of funding for future high-performance computing systems. It is also one of the requirements of receiving an allocation, as was noted in your award letter. The reporting requirements and recommended wording of acknowledgment...
CISL is implementing automated file compression for data on the Campaign Storage file system. This action is completely transparent to user applications and subsequent file access. No user action is necessary. As detailed here, large files will be compressed automatically 180 days after creation, allowing the file system to hold large data sets more efficiently for extended durations. It will a...
