Support ILRI scientists and collaborators wherever they may be
Primary characteristics Computational capacity should be high and fast Data
should be accessible and safe
Provide a strong foundation for... Cutting-edge science supported by a
state- of-the-art infrastructure. Building a community of practice by teaching good habits and helping scientists use the tools. Breaking down silos and promoting collaboration via openness and sharing.
Standing on shoulders of giants
Embrace “open” Open-source software Open-access science
Building “next-gen” research computing Four years at ILRI ✓ Three
iterations of HPC ✓ Create homogenous cluster environment ✓
