Item Open Access Rocky Mountain advanced computing consortium cyberinfrastructure plan(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017) Hauser, Thomas, author; Burns, Patrick J., author; Cheatham, Thomas E., author; Siegel, H. J., author; Williams, James, authorThe Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium (RMACC) is a collaboration among academic and research institutions located throughout the intermountain region. Our mission is to facilitate widespread effective use of cyberinfrastructure throughout the region by: Educating graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, researchers, facilitators, and industry partners on the use of computational science, high performance computing, advanced networking, virtualization, and data management; Coordinating multi-institutional efforts to advance research, practice, and education in computational science in order to address important regional problems; Bringing together a broad range of research computing staff, researchers, faculty, and industry partners with a depth of experience and expertise not available at any single institution and facilitate their collaboration in multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional teams. Since advancing the regional cyberinfrastructure is part of the goal of the consortium, RMACC institutions are focused on improving the regional cyberinfrastructure, especially people, networking, shared compute and data resources going forward.Item Open Access Regional cyberinfrastructure facilities(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 2017) Hauser, Thomas, author; Burns, Patrick J., author; Cheatham, Thomas E., author; Siegel, H. J., author; Williams, James, authorThe Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium (RMACC), represented by the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Utah and Colorado State University, propose to create a distributed cyberinfrastructure (CI) team of data and workflow facilitators ("Cyberteam" or "CI Facilitators") for experimental and observational science (EOS). Advances in the number and diversity of data sets require enhanced capabilities to access, reuse, process, analyze, understand, curate, share, and preserve data. A critical aspect in dealing with such large, diverse data sets is to provide expert support for efficient and effective workflows involving data generation, data analysis, visualization, and preservation. Typically, data management, analysis, sharing and curation have been the responsibilities of individual researchers. As a result, data can be difficult to reuse by anyone other than the originators. Likewise, computational and data generation workflows are often cobbled together, hard-coded, and not readily amenable for sharing. These problems must be addressed to make workflows and data available for reuse, and to reuse others' data. The proposed work will fund three FTEs to provide such support for science projects on the three partner campuses as well as projects in the region under the auspices of the RMACC. We note that while each of these institutions having strong support for research computing and the libraries, none at present have facilitators of this type.
