National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is a major supporter of research at Cornell University.
As Cornell’s advanced computing center, CAC supports Cornell’s NSF-funded researchers and their computing needs.
CAC is also directly funded by NSF to help develop the nation’s cyberinfrastructure resources and services.
NSF Container and Cloud Projects
CAC received a $2 million CSSI award to implement an integrated container framework for the Weather Research and Forecasting Model called
I-WRF (2022-2026). The center was also PI on an $8.2 million
federated cloud grant.
Other NSF Projects
CAC is developing training for
the NSF Leadership-Class Computing Facility and has developed cloud training for
Jetstream.
In addition, we are developing software for
IRIS-HEP, serve as the cyberinfrastructure lead for
SCiMMA, support
NANOGrav (Cornell is co-PI), and are leading an
EAGER grant to optimize the operations of future NSF cyberinfrastructure projects.
