“Ten simple rules” for establishing a national scale OpenStack cloud e-infrastructure for science

2 December 2017December 2, 2017adminLeave a comment

The SNIC Science Cloud (SSC) team has published a paper in the 2017 conference on IEEE eScience. SNIC Science cloud has been an infrastructure project run by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) with the purpose to assess if and how SNIC should offer cloud infrastructure to the scientific community. The project is now coming to an end, and the SSC OpenStack resources will become a part of the SNIC production infrastructure landscape. In the paper, we summarize the experiences gained in the project and provide recommendations in the form of “ten simple rules” for how to successfully establish a science cloud community cloud infrastructure on a national scale.

We are looking for a talented individual to join our efforts on creating smart and scalable cloud services to support simulation-driven scientific discovery via large-scale computational experiments such as parameter sweeps. This is a classic and very important problem that we will approach in new ways, leveraging recent advances in cloud computing, data-intensive computing and machine learning. See the full advertisement here (Deadline Sept. 1):

We are very happy to welcome Fredrik Wrede, MSc. in Bioinformatics, to the group. Fredrik was accepted as a PhD student in CIM, the Center for Interdisciplinary Mathematics. His project will center around intelligent cloud services for processing and making sense of massive amounts of data, for example generated by large computational experiments in systems biology such as parameter sweeps. The project is an interdisciplinary collaboration with the Spjuth lab on data-intensive and translational bioinformatics.

Last week brought some great news. I am awarded the Göran Gustafsson Prize 2016 from the Gustafsson Foundation (KTH/UU). In the proposed project titled Smart Services for Scientific Discovery we will look into new and more productive ways to combine simulation software and cloud computing infrastructure to build intelligent applications for e.g. exploring an underlying model’s essential behavior.
