January 20, 2022 San Diego CA: In classic UC San Diego fashion, an overheard conversation at a campus coffee cart has turned into an interdisciplinary project that's making computing-intensive coursework more exciting while saving well over one million dollars so far.
At SC21 last week, Smarr delivered a racing reprise of this (ongoing) HPC tour de force in his talk, The Rise of Supernetwork Data Intensive Computing. Presented here are a sampling of his comments (lightly edited) and quite a few of his slides.
Building on years of research in network engineering and data-intensive collaborative science, the Pacific Research Platform was born in 2015 with a grant from the National Science Foundation.
