Core Facilities proudly announces that Research Computing has been awarded the NSF funded Jetstream 2 award as well as a grant from the Humans Advancing Research in Cloud (HARC) program: 

Jetstream 2

ASU will be one of five national sites operating the advanced computing systems that make up the NSF-funded Jetstream 2, a national cloud computing system designed to enable new research, discovery, and innovation across a broad range of disciplines. The “signature innovation” of Jetstream 2 is that it makes advanced computational resources easily accessible by researchers and students across all disciplines. ASU will be the recipient of a $400K subaward, with ASU Research Computing leading these efforts. Learn More.

HARC

ASU Research Computing is one of four US institutions receiving a grant from the Humans Advancing Research in the Cloud (HARC) program, which is a national effort led by Indiana University’s Pervasive Technology Institute to advance the use of cloud-based computing. ASU researcher, Dr. Jay Oswald, SEMTE, will explore computationally assisted materials design in the development of plastic materials to increase their useful lifespan and simplify recycling efforts. The project is supported by Research Computing, and the funding will enable ASU’s contributions to the broader cloud research community, including code, documentation, and best practices for the set-up and maintenance of cloud systems.
