Research summary, January 1989 - June 1990
The Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS) was established at NASA ARC in June of 1983. RIACS is privately operated by the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a consortium of 62 universities with graduate programs in the aerospace sciences, under a Cooperative Agreement with NASA. RIACS serves as the representative of the USRA universities at ARC. This document reports our activities and accomplishments for the period 1 Jan. 1989 - 30 Jun. 1990. The following topics are covered: learning systems, networked systems, and parallel systems
Survey and Analysis of Production Distributed Computing Infrastructures
This report has two objectives. First, we describe a set of the production
distributed infrastructures currently available, so that the reader has a basic
understanding of them. This includes explaining why each infrastructure was
created and made available and how it has succeeded and failed. The set is not
complete, but we believe it is representative.
Second, we describe the infrastructures in terms of their use, which is a
combination of how they were designed to be used and how users have found ways
to use them. Applications are often designed and created with specific
infrastructures in mind, with both an appreciation of the existing capabilities
provided by those infrastructures and an anticipation of their future
capabilities. Here, the infrastructures we discuss were often designed and
created with specific applications in mind, or at least specific types of
applications. The reader should understand how the interplay between the
infrastructure providers and the users leads to such usages, which we call
usage modalities. These usage modalities are really abstractions that exist
between the infrastructures and the applications; they influence the
infrastructures by representing the applications, and they influence the ap-
plications by representing the infrastructures
Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute – Research Technologies: XSEDE Service Provider and XSEDE subcontract report (PY1: 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012)
Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the NSF or XSEDE leadership.This document is a summary of the activities of the Research Technologies division of UITS, a Service & Cyberinfrastructure Center affiliated with the Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute, as part of the eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) during XSEDE Program Year 1 (1 July 2011 – 30 June 2012).
This document consists of three parts:
- Section 2 of this document describes IU’s activities as an XSEDE Service Provider, using the format prescribed by XSEDE for reporting such activities.
- Section 3 of this document describes IU’s activities as part of XSEDE management, operations, and support activities funded under a subcontract from the National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA), the lead organization for XSEDE. This section is organized by the XSEDE Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) plan.
- Appendix 1 is a summary table of IU’s education, outreach, and training events funded and supported in whole or in part by IU’s subcontract from NCSA as part of XSEDE.This document was developed with support from National Science Foundation (NSF) grant OCI-1053575
