Welcome to PEARC20! PEARC20’s theme is “Catch the Wave.” This year’s theme embodies the spirit of the community’s drive to stay on pace and in front of all the new waves in technology, analytics, and a globally connected and diverse workforce. We look forward to this year’s PEARC20 virtual meeting, where we can share scientific discovery and craft the future infrastructure.
The conference will be held in Pacific Time (PT) and the times listed below are in Pacific Time.
The connection information for all PEARC20 workshops, tutorials, plenaries, track presentations, BOFs, Posters, Visualization Showcase, and other affiliated events, are in the PEARC20 virtual conference platform, Brella. If you have issues joining Brella, please email pearcinfo@googlegroups.com.
Beginning with the initial release of the DesignSafe JupyterHub in late 2015, TACC has been building and maintaining custom JupyterHub clusters for research groups across different domains of science and engineering. Today, TACC maintains five production JupyterHub systems utilizing over half a terabyte of memory and hundreds of CPU cores supporting nearly 1,600 unique users combined. In this paper, we describe our approach to utilizing JupyterHub in these cyberinfrastructure projects and our collaborative approach to integrating Jupyter into different research communities. For two such groups, we present an in-depth discussion of the science use cases and technical drivers that informed and evolved the design of our offering, and our outreach and engagement efforts to promote adoption. We discuss the implementation of custom features we have added to better integrate JupyterHub into other components of the cyberinfrastructure platforms, and we conclude with a description of our plans for future architecture and usage of JupyterHub at TACC.
