  1. Scientific discovery, analysis, and prediction made possible through high performance computing.

  2. State of the art supercomputers with 24/7 accessibility • Petascale storage infrastructure provides backup, swift access, and retrieval of archived data • Emphasis on the Arctic • ARSC supports university scientists who use high-performance computing (HPC) to conduct research • Climate and weather modeling, ice sheet modeling, oceans physical and ecological systems

  3. HPC at ARSC • Pacman • Penguin Computing cluster • 2,816 AMD Opteron processors • NSF infrastructure grant to support Pacific Area Climate Monitoring and Analysis Network: PACMAN • Researchers in Alaska and Hawaii • Fish • Cray XK6m-200 Supercomputer • 1152 AMD Opteron CPU cores and 48 NVIDIA Tesla GPU processors • Art work by UAF student Yumi Kawaguchi

  4. Long Term Storage Silo • 1,800 3592JC tape cartridges with 7.2 petabytes of raw capacity equal to…7,200,000,000,000,000 bytes! • 400 LTO-4 tape cartridges • with 320 terabytes • of raw capacity. IBM TS3500 Tape Library, “Galaga”

  5. Arctic Collaborative Environment (ACE) • ACE provides a web-based, open-access, Arctic-focused, environmental research and decision-support system • ACE enables local, regional, and international cooperation and coordination on long-term environmental planning and near-term actions in response to climatic and environmental changes occurring in the Arctic Region

  6. Computational Science & Resources • Tsunamis • Bering Sea ecosystems • Melting sea ice and ice sheets • Volcanic ash dispersion • Smoke forecasting from wildfires • Arctic Alaska-specific weather forecasts • DSpace archive file hosting • Arctic Collaborative Environment • DIG: Frontier Scientists
