ICER's 20th Anniversary

Join us in celebrating 20 years of high-performance computing at Michigan State University.

In 2005, the organization that became the Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research (ICER) turned on its first systems at Michigan State University to help researchers accelerate their discoveries. In 2025, ICER is proud to support thousands of users from diverse fields with our wide range of computing and support resources.

You are invited to ICER’s 20th anniversary celebration! The event will include MSU Dairy Store “ICER Cream,” a 3D ICER timeline exhibit, a poster session, and presentations about the past, present, and future of ICER.

Date: February 26, 2025, from 4-6 pm
Location: MSU Union Ballroom, 49 Abbot Road, East Lansing, MI 48824

ICER X MSU Dairy Store = ICER Cream

In honor of our 20th anniversary, new cluster, and new liquid cooling system, we collaborated with the MSU Dairy Store to create "High-Performance Espresso ICER Cream" with a high-performance espresso base, liquid cooling stream of salted caramel, and chocolate computer chips! Stop by the Dairy Store in February to try it or pick up a free scoop at our anniversary event.

Event Program

4-5 pm: During the first hour of the event, enjoy your ICER Cream, visit poster presentations, learn about ICER's history through our 3D timeline exhibit, and socialize with ICER staff, ICER users, and community members. 

5-6 pm: During the second hour of the event, attend presentations about ICER's past, present, and future. Learn about the ground-breaking research conducted with ICER's supercomputing resources.

We want to share your ICER research! If you are interested in being a featured researcher, select one or both options below.

Posters

  • Enter ICER's poster session to highlight your research using ICER resources. This option follows a standard academic poster format and provides time to discuss research with passersby. Prizes will be awarded for “Best Poster Presentation” and “Best Use of ICER Resources."
    • Posters should be printed and trimmed to 40" x 32". Poster stands will be provided. We recommend printing your poster at least a week in advance to avoid last-minute issues.
    • Poster presentations require that at least one person attends the anniversary event to present the poster.

Data Viz and Research Photos

  • Share your data visualizations, research images, and photos from your lab with a brief caption to be featured on our timeline exhibit of ICER's history and a slideshow during the event.
    • Send your eye-catching images and written captions, 100 words or fewer, to communications@icer.msu.edu.
    • Attendance at the anniversary event is not required, but featured researchers in attendance will receive special honors at the event.

     

    To feature your research, please fill out the form below by February 21, 2025. Late submissions may be accommodated but cannot be guaranteed.
