On June 10, 2025, NSF awarded PSC supplemental funding to accelerate the progress of research projects awarded allocations on Bridges-2 by the NAIRR Pilot program.
This supplement kicks off an innovative program of enhanced support. Each of the 30 NAIRR Pilot projects allocated to Bridges-2 will be assigned a PSC AI/Big Data Collaborator, and will work with a PSC Support Team for assistance with project management, allocation management, HPC use, system administration, data transfer performance, security, and curation. Training will be provided asynchronously via video courses hosted by the forthcoming PSC Learning site, and synchronously by means of webinars and the PSC/CMU/Pitt Open Hackathon.
The first Bridges-2 webinar enabled by this award took place on June 18: Welcoming the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Suite to Bridges-2. A recording and slides are available through the PSC Bridges-2 Webinar Series.
