CCL Internships at CERN and Alibaba

Two of our CCL grad students are off to internships this summer:

Nick Hazekamp will be in Geneva at CERN working with Jakob Blomer and the CVMFS group to develop methods for migrating high throughput workloads to HPC centers, while still making use of the global CVMFS filesystem.

Charles Zheng will be at Alibaba working on high throughput workloads running on container orchestration systems.
