Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Non-Construction - The Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) recently opened a state-of-the-art dry laboratory space, the Barrow Neuro Analytics Center (BNAC), located in the Park Central Bioscience hub adjacent to both BNI and Creighton University Medical School. The research conducted at BNAC is powered by the new High-Performance Compute (HPC) network supported by the State of Arizona. The HPC server stack was designed to support sophisticated modeling, simulation, and data analytics across a range of neuroscience research use cases. All components involved are housed in a highly secure, enterprise data center with monitored power and cooling. BNAC researchers are performing state-of-the-art spatial statistical research from population to cell and the compute needs of these researchers exceeds the existing capabilities of the current HPC. This research requires a substantial expansion of our graphical processing units (GPUs). To meet the needs of our rapidly expanding spatial statistical research programs, we require additional GPU Nodes consisting of three Dell PowerEdge XE9680 Rack Servers and partial FTE support to integrate these servers into the HPC environment.
