We were glad to see DOE’s Magellan project getting some well-deserved recognition by the HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Award at SC10 in New Orleans. Magellan investigates how cloud computing can help DOE researchers to manage the massive (and increasing) amount of data they generate in scientific collaborations. Magellan is a joint research project at NERSC at Berkeley Lab in California and Argonne Leadership Computing Facility in Illinois.
This award represents teamwork on several fronts. For example, earlier this year, ESnet’s engineering chops were tested when the Joint Genome Institute, one of Magellan’s first users, urgently needed increased computing resources at short notice.
