EAGER: TIGER - Tight Integration of Grid Enabled Researchers

整合网格使能的研究人员（TIGER）TIGER项目的目的是实现和评估一个“校园桥”模型，以满足日益增长的需要网络基础设施（CI）的支持，为研究人员在校园的各种规模的资源，可能不是千万亿次规模的大小，但可以支持在大多数机构的基础设施。 该项目将支持区域访问HPC/HTC设施，计算和可视化专业知识以及利用每个参与机构的专业知识。用于区域使用的计算节点已经通过先前的EPSCoR和DoE奖励购买。HBCU的两个合作伙伴将通过先前授予的ESPCoR RII 2和ESPCoR CI R2奖项连接到区域R E网络。一项关键任务是提供专家实施和集成服务，并增加拥有这类技能的员工队伍。该项目将把校园体验扩展到一个区域，为综合学校和HBCU的克莱姆森专业知识和教师的合作提供资金，并将扩大和发展网络知识发现社区。一个成功的结果是潜在的变革，提供了一个新的模式，以实现和发展一个广泛而多样化的网络使能的研究社区在区域范围内，利用优势，在CI专业知识的区域中心。

Integration of Grid Enabled Researchers (TIGER) The intent of the TIGER project is to implement and evaluate a "campus bridge" model that addresses the growing need for Cyber-Infrastructure (CI) support for researchers at campuses of every size requiring resources that may not be of petascale size, but that outstrip the infrastructure that can be supported at most institutions. The project will support regional access to HPC/HTC facilities, computational and visualization expertise as well as leveraging of expertise from each participating institution. Computational nodes for regional use have already been purchased via prior EPSCoR and DoE awards. The two HBCU partners will be connected to the regional R&E network via previously awarded ESPCoR RII 2 and ESPCoR CI R2 awards. A key task is to provide expert implementation and integration services and also increase the size of the workforce having this skill sets. The project will extend the campus experience to a regional one, funding a collaboration of Clemson expertise and faculty at comprehensives and HBCUs and will expand and grow cyber-enabled knowledge discovery communities. A successful outcome is potentially transformative in providing a new model shown to enable and grow a broad and diverse cyber-enabled research community at a regional scale, leveraging strengths at a regional center of CI expertise.
