I. Supercomputer Facilities Support and Access

The Foundation supports National Supercomputer Centers for use by scientists and engineers as a research tool. Researchers who need supercomputer time should submit their requests directly to the individual supercomputer centers. Requests will be reviewed by a local allocation committee for each center. The allocation committees usually meet on a quarterly basis. The NSF Supercomputer Access brochure provides guidance for submitting requests for supercomputer time.
