This three-year, $485,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) will fund Stony Brook University's acquisition and operation of an advanced high-performance computing system called "SEAWULF" through September 2025. The new system aims to accelerate scientific and engineering computing through bandwidth and memory improvements expected to yield speedups of 4-8 times for bandwidth-intensive applications. It will be the first academic deployment of several new technologies addressing major bottlenecks in high-performance and data-centric computing. Access to the system and associated training will be provided free of charge to Stony Brook faculty, students, and external collaborators to enable a large number of multidisciplinary projects. Outreach efforts are also planned with minority-serving institutions, schools, and national cyberinfrastructure organizations to broaden participation in computational sciences.
