Soliciting Early Users for Edison
November 8, 2012 by Richard Gerber | 0 Comments
If you are a NERSC user with a compelling scientific result that would be enabled by early access to Edison, feel free to send me an email with a summary of what you would hope to accomplish. As an early user you'd help us shake out the new system and you might have to deal with initial instabilities and unexpected downtimes, but it's a great opportunity to pursue new lines of scientific inquiry or extend your current research. Write to me at ragerber@lbl.gov with the subject line "Edison Early User Access." We'll select users and projects that can best advance their research while stressing the system.
