ARCC is pleased to announce the new HPC environment, MedicineBow. MedicineBow will be available for campus-wide use beginning July 1, 2024. In preparation, UW ARCC is hosting an Early Adopters Program (EAP) for MedicineBow to facilitate a seamless integration of hardware and software, and to promote exceptional scientific research. This program runs throughout the summer starting June 1st, and ends August 26th, the first day of the Fall 2024 semester.
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 during EAP.
Exclusive reserved access to any approved resources over the course of the EAP.
EAP users will incur no charges throughout the course of the program, and will be able to continue using MedicineBow incurring standard ARCC charges following the end of the program.
Researchers approved for the early access program will get access to their reserved share of 152 GPUs , 4224 CPUs, and 3PB of research data storage over the course of the program.
