The end of SSG is approaching

Dear SSG users:

the compute resources that you have been using are financed by NSF Grant SES-0922005. The grant will end on June 30, 2013.

We are preparing the final report, and applying for continuing funding of some or all resources beyond that date. We request that all current users provide us with any publications that used the SSG resources as part of their inputs. This will help us compile a complete and comprehensive final report.

At the present time, in the absence of continued funding of our operating costs, we cannot guarantee availability beyond June 30, 2013. If no funding source is identified, we will be winding down the resources in July 2013. As we get closer to June, we will let you know of any new developments.

Rest assured that your data, your programs, and your results will remain available for some time beyond that date.

New account creations are suspended as of April 1, 2013.

The Synthetic Data Server (SDS) is funded through a different grant. For now, SDS users are not affected by this message.

NBER-CES Manufacturing Industry Database updated on SDS and SSG

NBER and the U.S. Census Bureau recently released an updated version of the NBER-CES Manufacturing Industry Database. Their webpage provides more details, and their announcement is listed after the break.

The database is of particular utility to users of the SynLBD.  An earlier version (provided directly to Lars Vilhuber by Randy Becker) was present on our servers previously – the new version has replaced that version on both servers.
