This $499,919 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program will support the University of South Dakota (USD) in expanding and updating the Lawrence High Performance Computing Cluster at USD. The project, titled "RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE: CC* CAMPUS COMPUTE: LAWRENCE 2.0: ADVANCING MULTI-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA", aims to: 1) increase the capacity of the Lawrence Cluster to accelerate research projects throughout South Dakota; 2) implement open-access software to reduce barriers to using the cluster; 3) replace aging infrastructure to avoid disruptions; and 4) broaden high performance computing participation through outreach to regional and tribal institutions. This investment will enhance computationally intensive research and STEM education initiatives in fields like clean energy, sustainability, mental health, and climate change across South Dakota. The project will also expand USD's contributions to the Open Science Grid by making unused cluster resources available. The award period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026.
