ORNL, IQM introduce quantum computing to 2025 winter classic cluster competition
User Access, Outreach, and Communications Group
The User Access, Outreach, and Communications Group of the Operations Section plays a pivotal role in the ongoing success and dissemination of information related to the National Computational Cluster Systems (NCCS). This dedicated team is responsible for the development and maintenance of a variety of communication materials that are essential for use by sponsors and program managers associated with the NCCS. These materials not only highlight the cutting-edge capabilities of the NCCS, but they also showcase the significant user research accomplishments that have emerged from collaborative efforts within the division.
Furthermore, the User Access, Outreach and Communications Group is instrumental in facilitating access to the computational resources that are housed within the division. By coordinating user access and providing support, the group ensures that researchers and stakeholders can effectively utilize the advanced computational tools that the NCCS offers. This access is vital for fostering innovation and research advancement, as it enables scientists and engineers to carry out essential simulations and analyses that drive their projects forward.
Compliance with policies is another critical function of the User Access, Outreach, and Communications Group. The team ensures that the systems within the division adhere to the laboratory's standards and the protocols set forth by the Department of Energy (DOE) User Facility. This compliance is crucial not only for maintaining the integrity and security of the systems but also for guaranteeing that the research conducted aligns with federal regulations and best practices.
The User Access, Outreach, and Communications Group is a central component of the NCCS operations. By developing communication materials, facilitating access to computational resources, and ensuring compliance with necessary policies, the group not only promotes the capabilities of the NCCS but also supports the broader goals of research and innovation in scientific computation. Their work ultimately enhances collaboration and success among the research community, providing essential resources and information to drive scientific progress.
