Universities Access IBM/Google Cloud Compute Cluster for NSF-Funded Research
The National Science Foundation recently announced approximately $5 Million in new grants to universities to access and continue research using the IBM/Google cloud computing cluster, bringing the number of universities with NSF Cluster Exploratory (CLuE) program grants to 14. IBM and Google began collaborating on an IBM/Google Cloud Computing University Initiative in 2007 to help computer science students gain the skills they need to build cloud applications. Now, the NSF is tapping the same cloud infrastructure to support university research in data-intensive computing in a range of scientific and engineering areas. For example, the … Continue Reading
