National Research Platform

The National Research Platform (NRP)¹ is a partnership of more than 50 institutions, led by researchers and cyberinfrastucture professionals at UC San Diego, supported in part by awards from the National Science Foundation.

NRP is the name of the set of programs, facilities, and policies that are designed for distributed growth and expansion. NRP’s primary computation, storage, and network resource is a ~300 node distributed cluster called Nautilus, a powerful nationally distributed computer system with CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs, in two types of subsystems specialized for a wide range of data science, simulations, and machine learning or artificial intelligence, allowing data access through a federated national-scale content delivery network.
