About the PA Science DMZ:
The NSF funded (OAC Award #2346589) Pennsylvania Regional Science DMZ (PA Science DMZ) project provides critical infrastructure and connectivity that enables and enhances access for under resourced PA institutions of higher education to cyberinfrastructure-based resources and services in support of science driven research and education applications.
The morning PA Science DMZ session of the CyberAccelerate workshop is being brought to you by Indiana University of Pennsylvania, KeystoneREN, Lafayette College, Swarthmore College, and the Penn State University Digital Foundry at New Kensington (DFNK) and Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences.
About ACCESS CI:
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.
