The analysis and interpretation of high-dimensional biological data sets is a challenging task. Exploratory data analysis of count data produced by next-generation sequencing technologies presents a common hurdle to researchers. Biologists often find it ...

Design thinking research has emphasized the collaborative and iterative nature of design thinking, grounded in user empathy. In addition to divergent and convergent thinking, ethnographic interviewing enables a full landscape of a user’s holistic needs ...

The CI Compass Fellowship Program (CICF) was developed to broaden undergraduate student participation in cyberinfrastructure (CI) research, development, and operations. CICF is a distinctive program for undergraduate students pursuing studies in computer ...

The future for science gateways warrants exploration as we consider the possibilities that extend well beyond ’science’ and high-performance computing into new interfaces, applications and user communities. In this paper, we look retrospectively at the ...

Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Facilitation amplifies the productivity of researchers engaged in computing-intensive and data-intensive investigations. CI Facilitators help researchers to adapt their workflows to CI resources, and teaches these researchers how ...

Workforce development is an important topic in distributed computing. While traditional curricula in engineering and computer science focus primarily on disciplinary technical expertise, facilitating research cyberinfrastructures requires a diverse set ...

We leverage statistical and natural language processing (NLP) tools for a systematic analysis of triggers of state-led mass killings. The work advances the application of statistics and NLP in the social sciences and also contributes to scholarly efforts ...

Troubleshooting a distributed system can be incredibly difficult. It is rarely feasible to expect a user to know the fine-grained interactions between their system and the environment configuration of each machine used in the system. Because of this, ...

Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Facilitation is the process of helping researchers to use research computing systems and services to advance their computing/data-intensive research goals. The growing need for CI Facilitation isn’t being met by traditional ...

Scientific workflows are typically expressed as a graph of logical tasks, each one representing a single program along with its input and output files. A conventional workflow manager transforms each logical task into a discrete batch job and submits it ...

The Distant Reader science gateway can be used to automatically create and analyze text corpora at a scale of thousands of user-supplied documents. These processing steps are deployed on a dynamic virtual cluster deployed on XSEDE's Jetstream academic ...

The science gateway framework HUBzero® has been enhanced and further developed since its initial vision in 1996 -- always driven by requirements of the diverse communities applying HUBzero® for their research. HUBzero® is part of a computational ...

Evaluating super-computer performance through benchmarking is an integral part of an HPC center operation. It can be used to guide the selection of a system during hardware acquisition, to validate that the selected hardware performs as expected, and to ...

Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Facilitation is the process of helping researchers to use research computing systems and services to advance their computing-intensive/data-intensive research goals. The growing need for CI Facilitation isn't being met by ...

A traditional HPC computing facility provides a large amount of computing power but has a fixed environment designed to satisfy local needs. This makes it very challenging for users to deploy complex applications that span multiple sites and require ...

Cyberinfrastructure facilitation -- working directly with researchers to advance the computing-intensive and data-intensive aspects of their investigations, especially via large-scale and advanced computing -- has emerged as a crucial component of ...

This project aims to use historical census and patent data to determine the factors and conditions that influence innovative productivity, with the intention of applying these findings to foster future creativity and accelerate economic growth. By ...

Research computing has taken on new life with the rise of user-friendly clusters, clouds, and grids. These range from infrastructure-as-a-service platforms like Amazon EC2, to campus-scale HTCondor pools, to national infrastructure machines like those ...
