UW ARCC is pleased to announce the new HPC environment, MedicineBow (working name, Thunderer). This new HPC environment includes new 4th Gen AMD EPYC 9454 compute nodes, and multiple A30, L40S, and H100 GPU nodes. MedicineBow will be available for campus-wide use beginning July 1, 2024. In preparation, UW ARCC is initiating the MedicineBow Early Access Program (MBEAP) to facilitate a seamless integration of hardware and software, and to promote exceptional scientific research.
The early access program begins with a Performance Evaluation Phase, focused on assessing applications for their capabilities. The evaluation involves collaboration between researchers and ARCC HPC experts. Early adoption provides researchers with several benefits, including:
The chance to get a jump start on using the new system with limited competition for resources.
Prioritized support from ARCC staff
Our early access program beginning {date}, is open to runs from June 1, through June 30th. ARCC will accept applications through Wednesday May 15th, 2024. Applications are open to any applicants without strict prerequisites, although applicants should provide potential applications for their work. To apply, please fill out {need to make a form on portal} providing information on your the scientific testing associated with your requested early access, the computational technologies you plan to employ, and estimated an application through our portal, here.
The application form will require an abstract associated with your intended work, the technical requirements associated with any computational technologies (if needed), and estimated compute hours.
Thank you!
