ACI-REF

Overview: 

The Institute for Computational and Data Sciences has built an Engagement Team that includes an ACI-REF (Advanced CyberInfrastructure - Research and Education Facilitators). ACI-REF defines its mission as:

We are dedicated to forging a nationwide alliance of educators to empower local campus researchers to be more effective users of advanced cyberinfrastructure (ACI). In particular, ACI-REF seeks to work with the “long tail” of ACI users—those scholars and faculty members who traditionally have not benefited from the power of massively scaled cluster computing but who recognize that their research requires access to more compute power than can be provided by their desktop machines.
