Grids and Cyberinfrastructure

Indiana University is enabling new types of research, pedagogy, creative activity, and community impact by building one of the world’s foremost research computing environments. This environment combines deep human expertise, robust systems and services, and advances in computer science and informatics to address the needs of researchers and their collaborators on the local, national, and international stage


At the heart of IU’s cyberinfrastructure are its robust and reliable systems and services provided by the Research Computing division of UITS. These are the tools that enable computing research experimentation and implementation, and which amplify the talents and visions of local and national researchers. IU’s cyberinfrastructure combines world-class supercomputing systems, storage systems, networking, and visualization systems with proven professional training, consultation, and support.

 

Provenance and Preservation in Cloud Computing: Karma

Tuesday, November 18 - 10:00 AM (US/Central)
Beth Plale, School of Informatics

As data and workflow driven e-Science applications grow in scale in response to exploding resource availability through cloud and data center computing and storage, the amount of new data created similarly explodes. This talk introduces a general provenance collection tool for workflow driven science discovery systems that captures the provenance record of new data products and collections. The ongoing collaboration with Lilly Endowment, Inc. to bring provenance collection to the Lilly Life Sciences Grid (LSG) will also be discussed.

Building beyond LEAD: Impact, Education, and Future Plans

Wednesday, November 19 - 10:00 AM (US/Central)
Beth Plale, School of Informatics

Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD) is a highly successful NSF-funded largescale ITR project in cyberinfrastructure for adaptive, on-demand mesoscale meteorological research. This presentation discusses the impact LEAD has had on meteorology research and education, on the Teragrid through its role as a leading edge science gateway, on the advancement of cyberinfrastructure goals, and future technical and outreach plans as the project enters its final year.
