Next Proposal Deadline – September 15, 015

Seventeen U of I research teams from a wide range of disciplines have been awarded computational and data resources on the sustained-petascale Blue Waters supercomputer at NCSA. Blue Waters is one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, capable of performing quadrillions of calculations every second and working with quadrillions of bytes of data. Its massive scale and balanced architecture enable scientists and engineers to tackle research challenges that could not be addressed with other computing systems.

About 2 percent of the capacity of Blue Waters is allocated each year to projects at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign through a campus wide peer-review process. For details, please visit bluewaters.ncsa.illinois.edu/illinois-allocations.
