Description

Research computing requires a broad set of specialized technical skills to create a hardware and software infrastructure and respond to diverse requests from researchers applying the resources to their unique problems. Over the past several years, the research computing teams from FASRC and IQSS have collaborated closely on supporting an expanding set of researchers across the FAS and other schools using the large FASRC Cannon and FASSE clusters. This session will describe how this collaboration has leveraged a larger pool of skill sets among the two groups’ staff members to work together on a number of projects, including the migration of social science users from the IQSS clusters to the FASRC clusters, evolving IAM solutions, and expanding the functionality of the Open OnDemand front-end dashboard used by researchers.
