The next CI Eng Lunch & Learn talk will occur June 27th, 2025. The speakers will be Mohammad Firas Sada and Elham Khoda from SDSC will be talking about
"Introduction to the National Research Platform".
A short abstract follows:
This session introduces the National Research Platform (NRP), a distributed cyberinfrastructure designed to support data-intensive and experimental research. Built as the Nautilus Kubernetes cluster, NRP spans multiple institutions and provides access to a broad range of computing resources, including CPUs, FPGAs, SmartNICs, and other novel compute architectures. Participants will gain an overview of NRP's capabilities and services, including interactive computing environments (JupyterHub, Coder), virtualization via
KubeVirt, persistent storage, and access to high-speed research networks. The talk will explain how access is managed through federated identity and resource allocations, and how users can request compute and storage for projects. We will also describe how institutions can participate by contributing hardware or integrating their local clusters into the larger platform, and what support exists for onboarding new sites.
N.B. The Zoom number for 2025 remains the same as before, connecting via computer is preferred if you want to see materials, etc. We ask that everyone *MUTE* on entry:
