Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Leadership-Class System Acquisition - Creating a Petascale Computing Environment for Science and Engineering - is cataloged under number 06-573 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 47.080, posted by U.S. National Science Foundation. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on June 12, 2006 and last updated on July 13, 2010. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $20,000,000. The agency has projected $20.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award. If the agency funds the expected 1 award from the $20.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $20.0 million. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity is closed. Monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements in the next funding cycle. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
NSF’s goal for high performance computing (HPC) in the period 2006-2011 is to enable petascale science and engineering through the deployment and support of a world-class HPC environment comprising the most capable combination of HPC assets available to the academic community. The petascale HPC environment will enable investigations of computationally challenging problems that require computing systems capable of delivering sustained performance approaching 1015 floating point operations per second (petaflops) on real applications, that consume large amounts of memory, and/or that work with very large data sets. Among other things, researchers will be able to perform simulations that are intrinsically multi-scale or that involve the simultaneous interaction of multiple processes. HPC Resource Providers - those organizations willing to acquire, deploy and operate HPC systems in service to the broad science and engineering research and education community - play a key role in the provision and support of a national HPC environment. With this solicitation, NSF requests proposals from organizations, or groups of organizations, willing to serve as a petascale HPC Resource Provider, and who propose to acquire and deploy a new, state-of-the-art, petascale HPC system. A competitive, petascale HPC system will: *Enable researchers to work on a range of computationally-challenging science and engineering applications at the frontiers of research; *Incorporate reliable, robust system software essential to optimal sustained performance; *Provide a high degree of stability and usability; and, *Function as a community-driven resource that actively engages the research and education communities in petascale science and engineering. A robust and effective HPC acquisition process, driven by the requirements of the science and engineering research and education community, is one of the key elements of NSF’s HPC strategy. Accordingly, the desired capabilities of the system to be acquired are defined in terms of performance on model problems.
