Forum on Monday for cloud computing and Casper discussions

March 28, 2023

CISL staff will seek user input on two initiatives of interest to the NCAR community during the Earth System Data Science (ESDS) forum from 2 to 3 p.m. MDT on Monday, April 3. The forum agenda includes:

  1. An overview of a prototype on/off-premises, cloud-computing project that seeks to complement and extend the capabilities of NCAR’s existing JupyterHub and Casper resources.
  2. Community input on plans for a Casper augmentation. CISL would like to hear from users about what they see as the strengths and limitations of the current Casper resources and what should be preserved or changed going forward. Community input will be used in the procurement process for the next generation of Casper hardware.

All users with an interest in the future of NCAR’s data analysis resources are welcome to participate remotely or in the Mesa Lab Chapman Room.
