This $498,903 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the establishment of a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster at Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The HPC cluster will enable advanced research and computational capabilities in fields such as biophysics, chemistry, cybersecurity, and mathematics. The cluster will also facilitate the incorporation of high-performance computing into Claflin University's curriculum, better preparing students for graduate school and the workforce. Additionally, 20% of the cluster's computing cycles will be allocated to support the Open Science Grid (OSG) Consortium, a distributed high-throughput computing service for open science and national research projects. The project's goal is to build Claflin University's IT capacity and support research and educational activities while providing access to Clemson University's experienced data center staff and infrastructure. The award will be effective from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026.
