2i2c Supports the Science Platforms Coordination IHDEA Working Group

[sapols]

What happened

• Member(s) of 2i2c participate in the working group (namely Jim Colliander)
• Goal is to develop international standard software computing environments for Heliophysics.
• We recently presented our work at two conferences: ML-Helio in Madrid, Spain and DASH/IHDEA in San Antonio, Texas
• We got $2k from NASA SMCE for 2i2c to stand up a JupyterHub with our environments
  • Used a shared password to make logging in easy for attendees
  • Persistant storage
  • Up to 119 GB RAM and 15 CPUs
  • Allowed us to both demo our environments and make the point that cloud computing can offer significantly more resources than a typical laptop

Any pull quotes?

• Sorry, no quotes
• Many attendees said our presentations were great and they support our work (e.g. excited to see how far we get in the future towards building shared software environments for Heliophysics)
• But sadly, we advertised a feedback survey and got zero responses

Why is it valuable

• Allows people to experience our Heliophysics-tailored environments in a platforms that's better than the free Binder
