ADVANCED SUPPORT PROGRAM (ASP)

The Supercomputing Facility for some time now has recognized the need for providing technical assistance to research teams across campus that goes beyond "general consulting". As a result, the Facility, to the extent that staffing levels permit, now offers collaborations in research projects with a large computational component. Under the ASP, one or more Facility analysts will contribute expertise and experience in several areas of high performance computing in a sustained and focused way. Our contributions in collaborative work can include any of the following:

• Porting applications to our clusters
• Optimizing and analyzing serial code performance
• Developing parallel code from serial versions and analyzing performance
• Optimizing serial and parallel I/O code performance
• Assisting in the optimal use of mathematical libraries
• Assisting with code development and design
• Assisting with the improvement of workflow automation in scientific processes

If you are interested in a collaboration through our ASP program, please send us e-mail at, help@sc.tamu.edu.
