April 20 — At its March quarterly XSEDE Resource Allocations Committee (XRAC) review, a total of 291 million computing hours, valued at just under $15 million, were awarded to 136 deserving projects throughout the country for access to NSF-sponsored high-performance computing resources and services in the XSEDE environment. These awards for allocation will support fascinating investigations ranging from molecular bioscience to social and economic science. The awardees were given awards to XSEDE-allocated resources and services like supercomputers and extended collaborative support services (ECSS).
The total requests for resources was significantly higher, totaling 837 million computing hours, but panel review and resource limitations restricted the final awards to 291 million.
