Thank you, SC18 volunteers!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time at the SC18 booth. We had several great conversations with prospective and current users and our events were very well attended (like our Breakfast with Champions event which had over 200 people stop by!).

Have any feedback on the booth or thoughts on what we should do for SC19? Let us know here .
XSEDE receives HPCwire Award for Top HPC-Enabled Scientific Achievement at SC18
XSEDE is thrilled to have received the Top HPC-Enabled Scientific Achievement in HPCwire's 2018 Editors' Choice Awards for our work with NSF's IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Together with PSC, SDSC, Globus, Stanford University, and others in this global collaboration, we helped discover the origins of cosmic rays.

Reviewers needed for Spring 2019 XSEDE EMPOWER internship applications
The XSEDE EMPOWER Program is currently seeking reviewers for Spring 2019 internship applications.

Application reviews will take place between now and Friday, December 14. Each application review requires reading a 4-5 page application PDF and filling out a form with around 10 scoring questions on a 1-5 scale.

Please contact Aaron Weeden ( aweeden@shodor.org ) if you are interested and available as well as how many applications you think you can commit to reviewing. Thank you for your consideration.
If you're not familiar with XSEDE EMPOWER, it's an internship opportunity for undergraduate students to work on actual XSEDE projects. Check out our new video to hear from students about their experiences with the EMPOWER Program!
XRAS adopted as the allocations service for computing systems — and aircraft — at NCAR
XRAS is now being used at NCAR's Earth Observing Laboratory to allocate time on aircraft and instruments on those aircraft for observational field campaigns. Watch and share XSEDE's new video featuring our very own Dave Hart and Ester Soriano to learn more about the service, how it's currently being used, and where they're looking to go next.
