Cyberinfrastructure

Cyberinfrastructure provides a broad and useful spectrum of integrated technologies to support increasingly complex, large-scale and cooperative scientific endeavors. SDSC's cyberinfrastructure activities include the NSF-sponsored TeraGrid and the Cyberinfrastructure Partnership.

SDSC has been a major partner in the TeraGrid since its inception in 2002 and has focused on the data-intensive computing needs of TeraGrid scientists. SDSC has integrated its activities and resources within the TeraGrid cyberinfrastructure to best serve the science and engineering research community.

The Cyberinfrastructure Partnership (CIP) is a joint endeavor of SDSC and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) to stimulate the expansion of cyberinfrastructure activities at multiple levels within the national community.

CIP activities fall into three categories: Community Collaborations (including the CTWatch quarterly publication), Cross-Center Infrastructure and Joint Development and Deployment Activities. Also included is the National Laboratory for Advanced Data Research (NLADR), a collaborative research and development activity between the two centers in advanced data technologies.
