RAMPS Stephen Deems
(Follow-up from a previous meeting)
DEI products presented/made available to the ACCESS Allocations Reviewer Committee (AARC) are now available in the Drive Space for reference.
Link should be open to anyone.
Allocations website focus groups
Collected a boatload of feedback from RPs/PIs/etc. to consider re:
Menu navigation; quick links; language; FAQs for XSEDE PIs; ACCESS-wide requests (handbooks, how-to’s, etc.)
Risk Register populated
Some are at “ACCESS Program” levels
e.g. “AWS Outages”, “Security Breach”, “Documentation”
FABRIC interest in ACCESS Allocations
Dave presented to FABRIC leadership team regarding Allocation Services offerings
They lack a panel review process and would like to offload that service
A lot of the discussions / ideas play into Allocation Innovative Pilots (workflows/sensors/instrumentation that can’t be shared simultaneously)
Need some help defining what a FABRIC allocable “unit” could be.
International Science Reserve (New York Academy of Science) approached RAMPS
regarding their "next phase of readiness exercises” - including the resource allocation phase. Could potentially be spinning up an xRAS instance for their use.
