This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $525,000 to the University of Vermont (UVM) to construct "ICECORE", a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster powered by 64 NVIDIA GPUs. The HPC cluster will significantly enhance computational research capacity in Northern New England, enabling research of national significance in areas such as machine learning explainability, infectious disease simulation, neural circuitry mapping, and computational design of living robots. Managed by UVM's Vermont Advanced Computing Center, ICECORE will serve as an educational platform to train the next generation of data scientists and support workforce development initiatives in the region. The award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will increase UVM's GPU computing capacity by nearly two orders of magnitude to over 100-petaflops, accelerating large-scale computing research and scientific investigations across academia, industry, and state agencies.
