CI Pathways: Cyberinfrastructure Overview

This session will provide an overview of the essential components and practical applications of cyberinfrastructure, starting with an introduction to its definition and key components including compute, data, software, networking, and people in the context of the NSF ACCESS program. Participants will learn the importance and benefits of integrating cyberinfrastructure into their research processes. The session will then explore various computational resources available to researchers, such as high-performance computing (HPC), to help participants identify the best options for their needs. To illustrate the real-world application of cyberinfrastructure, examples of successful research projects will be presented.

CI Pathways is a training program led by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center funded by NSF award 2417789. For more information about the program, please visit the CI Pathways webpage on HPC-Moodle.
