Abstract

Does the commoditization of computation and storage favor centralized or decentralized approaches to research computing? This presentation argues that the cyberinfrastructure for research is best provisioned as a leveraged central service. It addresses the political, financial, technical, and strategic requirements for developing a shared cyberinfrastructure to fuel innovation and growth.
