National Leadership Computing System (NLCS) Initiative

Under the National Leadership Computing Systems (NLCS) initiative, NASA supports cutting-edge, computationally intensive science and engineering of national interest. Successful proposals receive large allocations on NASA's premier high-end computing system, called Columbia, a 10,240-processor SGI Altix supercomputer.

The NLCS initiative demonstrates NASA's support for important national priorities, and its commitment to continued leadership in high-end scientific and technical computing and computational modeling. By inviting government, industry, and academia participation, NASA supports the 2004 Federal Plan for High-End Computing (PDF-704KB), advances U.S. technology and education, and enhances U.S. competitiveness.

NASA has conducted two annual calls for NLCS proposals. These calls have been released in November, with proposals due mid-January and awards announced in March.
