PRP: Fulfilling the Promise of Collapsing Space and Time
Categories University of California RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) was originally conceived in 2014 by member institutions of CENIC, the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California, as a way to support data-intensive research projects. The challenge was to connect multiple researchers located in multiple locations who require rapid access to dispersed datasets. It has become a significant force in developing an entirely new model of cyber-infrastructure ecology.

Leading the Charge on Science DMZs to Support Big-Data Research
Categories Independent Universities RENS & NRENS
Scientists working in fields such as genomics, climate science, and galaxy exploration accumulate huge data sets that require high-performance computer networking. Science DMZs and the Pacific Research Platform enable researchers to collaborate securely on these data sets from far-flung locations. Learn how UC Santa Cruz developed its cyberinfrastructure.
Rivers in the Sky: How PRP Enables Scientists to Predict Extreme Weather
Categories University of California RENS & NRENS
What would it take for weather forecasters to be able to predict seasonal climate effects — such as the extreme drought followed by the extreme floods experienced in the American West over the past few years?
