We can arrange to have your software installed on our Cray systems, along with a web describing how to use it at NERSC with pointers to more generic documentation. I'd be happy to have a call to discuss this. Are you available this Friday at 11:00 Pacific time?

I’m am writing to offer NERSC’s active support for this requirement.  I would like to introduce you to Rebecca Hartman-Baker and Richard Gerber from user services, who will also be assisting.  For planning purposes, we would like for you to identify, which prototypes of the software you are developing for XStack that we could deploy on the NERSC systems to facilitate your collaborations with members of the user community.
