Abstract

In April, 1999, the National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored National Computational Science Alliance (the Alliance) opened its new 7000 square foot advanced technology training and demonstration facility in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Called the Alliance Center for Collaboration, Education, Science, and Software (ACCESS), it is a new technology transfer and learning mechanism for emerging and advanced technologies, high performance computing, communications, and information technologies. The paper discusses the development of this highly flexible facility for collaborative research and education for high performance computing (HPC) science and engineering users. The leading edge site for ACCESS and the alliance is the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ACCESS is staffed by NCSA. The paper discusses planning, designing and developing this innovative site, and meeting technological, aesthetic, spatial, and other challenges in setting up this multiple-use, multiple-partner center. It will make recommendations to those wishing to set up similar facilities.

学术界和政府的创新协作学习和研究环境:发展NCSA ACCESS中心

1999年4月，美国国家科学基金会(NSF)赞助的国家计算科学联盟(the Alliance)在华盛顿特区开设了7000平方英尺的先进技术培训和示范设施。它被称为联盟协作、教育、科学和软件中心(ACCESS)，是一种新的技术转移和学习机制，用于新兴和先进技术、高性能计算、通信和信息技术。本文讨论了为高性能计算(HPC)科学和工程用户的协作研究和教育而开发的这种高度灵活的设施。ACCESS和联盟的前沿站点是位于伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的国家超级计算应用中心(NCSA)。ACCESS的工作人员是NCSA。本文讨论了这个创新场地的规划、设计和开发，以及在建立这个多用途、多合作伙伴的中心时遇到的技术、美学、空间和其他挑战。它将向希望建立类似设施的国家提出建议。
