Secure Cloud Infrastructure

0.0.0.0.1 Enabling code with performance portable GPU acceleration without interrupting scientific production.

0.1 A Customizable, Reproducible, and Secure Cloud Infrastructure as a Service for Scientific Research in Southern California

0.1.0.0.1 Grant from National Science Foundation’s Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) Program

Collaborators: Carl Kesselman (Principal Investigator) and Byoung-Do Kim (Co-Principal Investigator)

In August 2020, the National Science Foundation officially awarded Carl Kesselman, Director of Informatics Systems Research at USC’s Information Sciences Institute, and BD Kim, Director of the Center for Advanced Research Computing, with a $400,000 grant for their proposal “CC* Compute: A Customizable, Reproducible, and Secure Cloud Infrastructure as a Service for Scientific Research in Southern California,” as part of the Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) Program.

From NSF:

“The Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) program invests in coordinated campus-level networking and cyberinfrastructure improvements, innovation, integration, and engineering for science applications and distributed research projects. Learning and workforce development (LWD) in cyberinfrastructure is explicitly addressed in the program. Science-driven requirements are the primary motivation for any proposed activity.”
