Computer Time Allocations
Since 1992 the National Resource Allocations Committee (NRAC) and Large Resource Allocations Committee (LRAC) have awarded the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group annual time allocations at NSF-funded supercomputer centers. In the year of 2007-2008, we are also awarded allocations on the NCSA Abe cluster through the Institute for Advanced Computing Applications and Technologies (IACAT). These allocations have proven to be critical to our research and development success, as demonstrated by recent highlights, papers, and news stories on our accomplishments.
