Скачать или смотреть From NCSA to the National Research Platform - Dr. Larry Smarr

NCSA Founding Director Dr. Larry Smarr returned to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus and presented a special seminar titled "From NCSA to the National Research Platform" on May 9.

Abstract:
The National Research Platform (NRP) currently supports over 4,000 users on 135 campuses, accessing 1300 GPUs, 24,000 CPU cores, and over 10,000 TB of data storage – the largest distributed compute and storage platform supported by the NSF today. In the seminar, Smarr will trace the technological roots of the NRP back to NCSA, the Alliance and I-Wire over 25 years ago. These early NCSA experiences led to Smarr's last 22 years of NSF cyberinfrastructure grants, which built the OptIPuter and then the Pacific Research Platform, which has now evolved into the NRP. Applications in Machine Learning as well as diverse applications from neutrino observatories to wildfire prediction are currently empowered by the NRP.
