Overview

This workshop is based off of a very successful September 2021 roundtable event that brought together over 50 members of the community. 

It will continue the conversation spurred from the discussion topics below:

  • Use of cloud computing to broaden the set of institutions that can gain access to large-scale resources for computing research
  • Fostering research collaborations across industry, academia, and government (also enabled by data sharing and open-source software)
  • Preparing students to be consumers of cloud computing in their future careers
  • Enabling computing researchers to be creators and early adopters of leading-edge cloud technologies, while looking under the hood and customizing the systems being used
  • Demystifying and capping costs incurred when using the cloud for research.

It is clear that the future of computing research is in the cloud, but getting there and sharing its potential with students and the computing research community broadly is challenging.
