The Carnegie-Mellon University team provides allocation services as part of the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) program. The Resource Allocations Marketplace and Platform Services (RAMPS) project is transforming the process of allocation for the ever-evolving range of NSF-funded resources in the ACCESS ecosystem. This ecosystem includes many of the most powerful computing, storage, and related cyberinfrastructure resources available to the U.S. research community. These resources provide essential capabilities for advancing science and education across all fields of science. The RAMPS allocation environment offers a welcoming gateway that inspires collaboration and participation in the pursuit of scientific discovery while continuing to provide an essential gatekeeping function when necessary to balance demand for resources with the available supply. The RAMPS marketplace is toppling many current allocations approaches by removing barriers between researchers and their needed resources, RAMPS creates an open, inviting, and democratized marketplace. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the allocations environment is a central focus of the project. RAMPS is working to ensure the full participation of women, persons with disabilities, and underserved populations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). RAMPS provides an efficient, scalable and simplified interface for researchers, educators, and students to request resources in support of their research, educational, and workforce development endeavors. The RAMPS model of four allocation tiers, i.e., Explore, Discover, Ramp-Up, or Maximize, gives researchers with different needs multiple entry point options which optimize trade-offs between allocation application process efficiency, review effort, review turnaround times, and availability of resources. For the resource providers in the ecosystem, RAMPS streamlines the process of integrating new systems and services. Built with an emphasis on modularity, extensibility, and decentralization, the RAMPS software platform is flexible enough to accommodate allocations for current and future computational and non-computational resources and services. ACCESS Credits, a universal allocation currency, and standardized allocation tiers allow RAMPS to accelerate allocation requests and reviews. Finally, through a suite of Innovative Pilots, RAMPS is introducing disruptive features to the ecosystem and allocations marketplace to: inform current and future enhancements; decentralize the entry points for ACCESS allocations by building a set of campus and regional On-RAMPS; integrate cloud resources; define computational workflows as allocable resources; and enhance the allocations infrastructure to serve sensor nets and instrumentation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

麦基-梅隆大学团队提供分配服务，作为高级网络基础设施协调生态系统：服务支持（ACCESS）计划的一部分。资源分配市场和平台服务（RAMPS）项目正在改变ACCESS生态系统中不断变化的NSF资助资源的分配过程。该生态系统包括美国研究界可用的许多最强大的计算、存储和相关网络基础设施资源。这些资源为推进所有科学领域的科学和教育提供了必要的能力。RAMPS分配环境提供了一个受欢迎的门户，激发了合作和参与科学发现的追求，同时在必要时继续提供必要的守门功能，以平衡资源需求与可用供应。RAMPS市场正在通过消除研究人员与其所需资源之间的障碍来推翻许多当前的分配方法，RAMPS创建了一个开放，邀请和民主化的市场。分配环境中的多样性，公平性和包容性（DEI）是该项目的核心重点。RAMPS正在努力确保妇女、残疾人和服务不足的人群充分参与科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）。RAMPS为研究人员，教育工作者和学生提供了一个高效，可扩展和简化的界面，以请求支持他们的研究，教育和劳动力发展努力的资源。四个分配层的RAMPS模型，即，Explore、Discover、Ramp-Up或Maximize为具有不同需求的研究人员提供了多个入口点选项，这些选项可优化分配应用程序流程效率、审查工作量、审查周转时间和资源可用性之间的权衡。对于生态系统中的资源提供商，RAMPS简化了集成新系统和服务的过程。RAMPS软件平台强调模块化、可扩展性和去中心化，具有足够的灵活性，可以适应当前和未来计算和非计算资源和服务的分配。ACCESS Credits是一种通用的分配货币，标准化的分配等级使RAMPS能够加速分配请求和审查。最后，通过一系列创新试点，RAMPS正在为生态系统和分配市场引入颠覆性功能，以：为当前和未来的增强提供信息;通过构建一套园区和区域On-RAMPS来分散ACCESS分配的入口点;整合云资源;将计算工作流定义为可分配资源;该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估来支持。影响审查标准。
