Enabling Your Research with National Computing Resources Why
National resources? The University of Kentucky has excellent
high performance computing (HPC) resources available, but we
cannot provide everything. Once the almost exclusive domain of
Physics and Chemistry, HPC has expanded its uses dramatically
into Humanities, Visualization, Genomics, Pharmaceuticals, the
list goes on and on. XSEDE: Extreme Science and Engineering
Discover Environment Due to the large computing power needed to
solve some of the most vexing problems in these diverse areas,
the NSF has funded the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery
Environment ( XSEDE). This investment is central to maintaining
preeminence in scientific and research advancements in fields
such as homeland security, climate change, health and safety,
energy, sustainability, exploration, and industrial innovation
and manufacturing. UK researchers are increasingly reliant on
computational computing to make scientific advances, notably in
the fields of Science, T
