International Data Corporation (IDC) has recently announced a call to recognize high returns on investment in the HPC user community. This is an excellent opportunity for you to showcase the advances in your areas enabled through the utilization of HECC assets at NAS.

IDC has made the process fairly painless, through the submission of a simple two-page application, to be considered for the HPC Innovation Excellence Award. The submission deadline is April 30, and all relevant information is available at: https://www.hpcuserforum.com/innovationaward/

If you need help filling out the system description, please see the Pleiades resource page.

If you need other information, feel free to contact the NAS Control Room at (800) 331-8737, (650) 604-4444, or support@nas.nasa.gov.

I hope many of you will consider submitting an application.

Thank you,
