SUMMARY:Cloud and Supercomputing Platforms at NCI Australia: the Why, the 
 How, and the Future.
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nCloud and Supercomputing Platforms at NCI Australi
 a: the Why, the How, and the Future.\n\nWilliams\n\nAustralia’s National C
 omputational Infrastructure (NCI Australia) is a tier 1 provider of high p
 erformance computing and data services for Australian researchers spanning
  the higher education, government agency and industry sectors. NCI’s HPC f
 acility lies in the range 20-150 on the top500 list, depending on stage wi
 thin its lifecycle. The facility also manages on the order of 70PB of high
 -performance data storage capacity, comprising both projectized data space
 s as well as high curated, functionalized FAIR data collections of nationa
 l significance. Alongside its HPC capability provisioning, NCI has run a c
 loud architecture for internal and selected external purposes and over the
  past 5 years has progressively evaluated the most effective functional ro
 le that a cloud infrastructure might play in the context of a national fac
 ility. Strategically, its current focus with cloud is to build the infrast
 ructure for major research communities that have the demand; the national 
 strategic priority and the resourcing capabilities to partner NCI in devel
 opment of services and functionalities beyond the provision of “bare metal
 ” hardware as an infrastructure. One of the significant technical challeng
 es associated with this is the need for data analytics that access the pet
 abyte-scale datasets residing on NCI’s high performance storage file syste
 ms, necessitating a level of data transfer bandwidth and compute resourcin
 g that are not typical of “conventional” cloud.  In this presentation I wi
 ll give an overview of the above issues as NCI Australia encounters them p
 resently, providing examples of current activities and sketching the futur
 e as we see it at this point.\n\nTag: Workshop Reg Pass, Clouds and Distri
