Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing

The Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing (CAC) announced that as a collaborator on the NSF-funded Jetstream program it would be responsible for developing cloud computing training for the U.S. research community. Jetstream--led by Indiana University's Pervasive Technology Institute--will add cloud-based computation to the national cyberinfrastructure. Subsequent modules will focus on using remote desktops to access Jetstream, XSEDE, and systems in the eXtreme Digital (XD) program; deploying biology and earth science applications on Jetstream; and, publishing, archiving, and curating VM images to ensure scientific reproducibility. CAC is a leader in the development and deployment of Web-based training programs designed to enhance the computational science skills of researchers, broaden the participation of underrepresented groups, and accelerate the adoption of new and emerging technologies.
