How do I integrate my resource into ACCESS?
ACCESS uses an Integration Roadmaps Framework to define how operators can integrate classes of infrastructure into the ACCESS environment.
Current integration options include:
...
High-Performance Computing
High-performance computing clusters are used by logging in to front-end nodes, installing application software, and running batch computing jobs under a scheduler. These compute resources may include GPUs, and always provide some tightly coupled local storage.

How can I RPs get involved in the ACCESS community?
ACCESS wouldn’t exist without the Resource Providers lending their cyberinfrastructure (CI). If you have a resource you think researchers would benefit from inclusion in ACCESS RPs can join the RP Forum – an open forum of discussion topics of interest to the RP community and the formal communication channel between RP members and the ACCESS project.
Join the Resource Provider forum
There is also an opportunity to mentor undergraduates or early-career graduate students and encourage careers in cyberinfrastructure join the Student Training and Engagement Program.
