NEREN Seminar: “Bridging the Gap: Advancing Regional Collaboration and Research IT Collaboration”

April 17, 2018

The Northeast Research and Education Network's Spring 2018 seminar was held April 6 at Markley's One Summer Street, Boston, MA location.The seminar featured presentations by John Goodhue, Executive Director, Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center,  “Improving Integration of Science DMZs in the Northeast," Saul Youssef, Research Associate Professor, Boston University, Carnegie-Mellon University, "Northeast Storage Exchange (NESE)" and Ted Slater, Global Head, Scientific AI and Analytics, Cray, "Trends in the Convergence of AI and HPC.” Opportunities to tour the Markley facility, and an afternoon breakout session, followed a networking lunch.

NEREN  is a consortium of non-profit organizations that provide a fiber-optic network connecting and unifying the research and education communities in New York and New England.

Typically NEREN sponsors a twice yearly seminar intended to foster such collaboration.
