Roadmap Information for Resource Providers

RPs use the Integration Badges UI in the Operations Dashboard to follow an interactive resource integration process, where:

• They can view roadmap and badge information.
• Leadership can enroll a resource in a roadmaps and plan badges using the summary information below.
• Implementors can perform the tasks for planned badges by following task instructions links.

Users will view badge availability information in the ACCESS Resource Catalog, where:

• They can access badge functionality using a resource specific Button and Access URL, or
• The Default badge access button and URL shown below when a resource specific one hasn't been set.

Available Roadmaps

• ACCESS Allocated Cloud
• ACCESS Allocated Compute
• ACCESS Allocated Storage
• ACCESS Enabled Data Collection
• ACCESS Enabled Regional Peering Network
• ACCESS Enabled Science Gateway
• ACCESS Online Service

 

ACCESS Enabled Science Gateway

Infrastructure Type(s): Science Gateway Roadmap RP Summary: <p>A science portal or science gateway is a community-developed set of tools, applications, and data integrated through a web-based portal or a suite of applications. They provide access to tools used in cutting-edge research – telescopes, seismic shake tables, supercomputers, sky surveys, undersea sensors, and more. These gateways often connect diverse resources and make them easily accessible, lowering the barriers traditionally required to access these resources. This roadmap integrates a science gateway service (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_gateway). Science gateways provide web-based interfaces that link advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) components to enhance usability. The CI components linked by a science gateway differ based on specific user community needs, but can consist of one or more of the following components: High performance computing (HPC), data management, cloud-based resources, high throughput computing (HTC), user management, and authentication, authorization, and other security services.</p> Integration Concierge: Chun Chan, Dinuka De Silva Roadmap Status: Draft

	ACCESS Resource Description RP Activity Summary: <p>The resource provider supplies information describing their type of resource, including: public facing information like descriptive text, user guide URL, and resource status dates; and non-public information like the names and email addresses of RP staff contacts. ACCESS allocated resource providers will generally enter this information into the ACCESS CyberInfrastructure Description Repository (CiDeR) database themselves, with an estimated effort of 2-3/hours to gain CiDeR access and to enter the information, and ~30 minutes semi-annually to maintain the information. Most other resource providers will provide needed information to ACCESS staff, with an estimated effort of &lt;1 hour, and ACCESS staff will maintain the information into CiDeR for them.</p> ACCESS Verification: Automated: <p>ACCESS will verify that CiDeR information is complete automatically on a daily basis, and communicate discrepancies to to the RP.</p> Default badge access: Visit Resource Catalog Tasks: Information & Instructions Link Implementors SMEs Required ACCESS Allocated Resource Integration Coordination Integration coordinator JP Navarro, Winona Snapp-Childs Required Infrastructure Description Integration coordinator, Documentation, System administrator JP Navarro, Rob Light, Nathan Tolbert
	ACCESS Obtain Science Gateway Allocation RP Activity Summary: <p>The science gateway operator requests an ACCESS allocation through the standard process described <a href="https://allocations.access-ci.org/">here</a> and under certain circumstances may request multiple allocations. Once allocations are approved, the gateway provider uses the ACCESS allocation request system to transfer ACCESS credits to one or more particular resource providers. The exchange request may take several days or longer to be approved by the resource provider.</p> ACCESS Verification: Manual: <p>The science gateway operator receives and processes AMIE packets which results in local ACCESS allocations for users of the gateway. The science gateway operator tracks allocation usage and submits usage reports to ACCESS.</p> Pre-requisite badges: ACCESS Resource Description Default badge access: Allocations Information Tasks: Information & Instructions Link Implementors SMEs Required ACCESS Science Gateway Allocation Request and Resource Exchange Process Gateway administrator Chun Chan, Dinuka De Silva Required Request Science Gateway Community Accounts Integration coordinator Dinuka De Silva, Rob Quick
	ACCESS Science Gateway Usage Metrics RP Activity Summary: <p>Usage information that Resource Providers report via the AMIE and Usage APIs is automatically ingested into ACCESS XDMoD without requiring additional effort from Resource Providers.</p> ACCESS Verification: Manual: <p>ACCESS staff confirm that usage metrics reported through AMIE are viewable in XDMoD.</p> Pre-requisite badges: ACCESS Allocations Default badge access: Visit XDMod Tasks: Information & Instructions Link Implementors SMEs Required Science Gateway Usage Reporting System administrator Dinuka De Silva, Rob Quick
