- What is Cybershuttle?
CyberShuttle is a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure platform designed to unify scientific workflows, datasets, codebases, and interactive tools such as Jupyter notebooks and VS Code into a seamless, reproducible computing environment. It enables end-to-end execution across multiple compute backends from cloud (e.g. AWS) to high-performance systems (e.g. Jetstream2 or Delta) while allowing users to configure, manage, and iterate on runtime environments over time. CyberShuttle supports both exploratory data analysis and code development, and encourages sharing of workflows and scientific code with the broader research community, all while maintaining consistency and reproducibility in research execution
Cybershuttle Paper for reference. - What is ACCESS?
ACCESS (Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support) is an NSF funded program that provides U.S. researchers, educators, and students with free access to high-performance computing systems, storage, cloud resources, and support services. It serves as a centralized gateway to a national network of advanced cyberinfrastructure, supporting a wide range of scientific and engineering research projects.
Through the ACCESS portal, users can register for an ACCESS ID, apply for resource allocations, and receive help via support tools, training, and community services. Whether you're a researcher requiring computational power or an educator looking to integrate HPC into your classroom, ACCESS enables scalable, supported access to cutting-edge computing infrastructure.
Available resources through ACCESS. - Can I continue using Cybershuttle beyond the workshop? Yes.
Please contact the Cybershuttle team through ARTISAN@groups.gatech.edu to set up your computational resources to continue using the Gkeyll Jupyter notebooks. If you need to secure computational resource time, request yours through ACCESS: https://access-ci.org/
Getting your first allocation from ACCESS https://allocations.access-ci.org/get-your-first-project - I have ACCESS resources. How can I use them through Cybershuttle?
Contact the Cybershuttle team to set up your computational resources to continue using the Gkeyll Jupyter notebooks. - How can I contact the Cybershuttle team?
Reach out to the Cybershuttle team through ARTISAN@groups.gatech.edu - As a researcher, can I acquire AWS like commercial cloud resources?
Yes.
You can access commercial cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and IBM Cloud through CloudBank. - What is CloudBank?
CloudBank is an NSF-funded service that provides researchers and educators with streamlined access to commercial cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and IBM Cloud. It handles account setup, billing, and usage tracking—allowing researchers to focus on analysis and discovery instead of infrastructure. CloudBank also offers training, documentation, and user support to help teams get started with cloud computing for research. It’s especially valuable for NSF-funded projects and institutions looking to leverage scalable cloud resources without the administrative burden.
