The Blue Waters project, managed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, recently announced a unique fellowship program for doctoral students who can use the Blue Waters computing system to help complete their academic research. This may be the only National Science Foundation project that funds this type of opportunity. The Ohio Supercomputer Center is under contract with NCSA to manage the fellowship program.
