UC San Diego, Yale awarded collaborative NSF grant for Neuroscience Gateway
Date:8/8/2012

to the very few who have it, by removing the barriers for progress for many including historically underrepresented groups.

"Many of these investigators and students would otherwise find it very difficult, if not impossible, to implement and study models that press or exceed the storage and computing speed capabilities that are under their direct control," said Majumdar, who directs the scientific computing applications group at SDSC and is also part of UC San Diego's Department of Radiation Medicine and Applied Sciences.

Subha Sivagnanam and Kenneth Yoshimoto, both from SDSC and who have expertise in software engineering and parallel computing, will help develop the neuroscience gateway. They have been running performance studies of the neuronal simulation software NEURON on SDSC's Triton computer cluster, which has 256 nodes with 2 quad-core Intel Nehalem processors with clock speed of 2.4 GHz (gigahertz) and 24 GB (gigabytes) of memory.

"Such a gateway will help advance research by lowering or eliminating the administrative and technical barriers that currently make it difficult for neuroscientists to use HPC resources," said Maryann Martone, principal investigator of the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) project, and co-principal investigator for the UC San Diego Neuroscience Gateway award. "This work aligns well with the NIF project which provides a portal into the largest source of neuroscience tools and data on the web and is housed in the Center for Research in Biological Systems (CRBS) at UC San Diego. The gateway will also provide a community forum for neuroscientists to collaborate and share their data."

NIF's Anita Bandrowski, a neuroscientist, and Vadim Astakhov, also a parallel computing expert, will help in designing and testing the gateway. Ted Carnevale, principal investigator of the Yale grant, and Michael Hines, both from the Neurobiology Department at the Yale School of Medicine, are also involved in
