This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $399,865 to Michigan State University to develop the MSU Data Machine high-memory compute cluster. The Data Machine addresses the exponential growth of large, complex datasets requiring different computing approaches than traditional high performance computing, through nodes with large memory, GPUs optimized for machine learning/AI, and a high-speed file system. It enables data-intensive research in microbial genomics, social systems modeling, spatial ecology, and data-driven turbulence modeling. The cluster also benefits the national Open Science Grid and advances a wide range of research areas. Undergraduate and graduate students are involved in deployment, administration, and research/education activities on the Data Machine, contributing to STEM workforce development and underrepresented groups in computational and data sciences. The award period is July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024.
