CyberAccelerate: Elevate Research using Collaborative Resources from PA DMZ and ACCESS CI
The Pennsylvania Science DMZ project aims to bolster scientific research at institutions across the Commonwealth by addressing limiting factors in existing data networks. This NSF Funded project in conjunction with Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), Lafayette College, The Digital Foundry at New Kensington (DFNK), and Swarthmore College aims <<some more text abou the DMZ here>>
Join us for a full day event exploring new collaborative opportunities that this project will facilitate, how the Science DMZ will accelerate computational research, and learn how to access and utilize the free advanced cyberinfrastructure resources offered by ACCESS.
“ACCESS is a program established and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help researchers and educators utilize the nation’s advanced computing systems and services. Almost any computer application that requires more than a desktop or laptop could qualify as needing an advanced computing system. Examples include supercomputer applications, AI and machine learning, big data analysis and storage, and others.
ACCESS is an acronym that stands for “Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support.” NSF awarded $52 million over five years to five lead institutions and their sub-awardees to facilitate the ACCESS program. You can find out more about how ACCESS is organized here.”
