Introduction to NSF ACCESS
ACCESS is a program established and funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation to help researchers to utilize the nation’s advanced computing systems and services – at no cost to you.
At our site, you will be trained to use HPC clusters and receive free credits to access high-end GPUs, including NVIDIA’s A100, H100, and H200. These GPUs serve as high-performance computational engines that drive today’s most advanced artificial intelligence capabilities by significantly accelerating the training and inference of machine learning models. They enable researchers and enterprises to develop systems capable of natural language understanding, image recognition, scientific simulations, and creative content generation—tasks that would otherwise take months or even years to perform on conventional hardware.
We are grateful to have been awarded free credits through the project:
