NSF Grant to Support CCTools Development

We are pleased to announce that our work will continue to be supported by the National Science Foundation through the division of Advanced Cyber Infrastructure.

The project is titled "SI2-SSE: Scaling up Science on Cyberinfrastructure with the Cooperative Computing Tools"  It will advance the development of the Cooperative Computing Tools to meet the changing technology landscape in three key respects: exploiting container technologies, making efficient use of local concurrency, and performing capacity management at the workflow scale.  We will continue to focus on active user communities in high energy physics, which rely on Parrot for global scale filesystem access in campus clusters and the Open Science Grid; bioinformatics users executing complex workflows via the VectorBase, LifeMapper, and CyVerse disciplinary portals, and ensemble molecular dynamics applications that harness GPUs from XSEDE and commercial clouds.
