Award # What is Jetstream? Jetstream is the first-of-a-kind distributed cyberinfrastructure (DCI) system It will be the first cloud facility funded by the NSF supporting all areas of science and engineering within NSF’s scope It will be a “science production” quality resource, rather than an experimental system supporting computer science research such as FutureGrid, Chameleon, or CloudLab. Part of the NSF eXtreme Digital (XD) program - an advanced, nationally distributed, open cyberinfrastructure comprised of various computational and scientific resources connected by high-bandwidth networks, integrated by coordinated policies and operations The primary goal set by IU and its partners in implementing Jetstream is to create a resource that expands the users of XD program resources beyond the current community of users.
Award # What is Jetstream? Jetstream will be a user-friendly, widely accessible cloud environment designed to give researchers and research students access to interactive computing and data analysis resources “on demand.” It will provide a user-selectable library of virtual machines that users can select from to do their research. Software creators and researchers will also be able to choose from a VM library, create their own customized virtual machines -or- their own “private computing system” within Jetstream. It will enable countless discoveries across disciplines such as biology, atmospheric science, economics, network science, observational astronomy, and social sciences. Reproducibility: Store, publish via IU Scholarworks (DOI)
