Each year, the Supercomputing conference provides the leading technical program for professionals and students in the HPC community, as measured by impact, at the highest academic and professional standards. The program is designed to share best practices in areas such as: algorithms; applications; architectures and networks; clouds and distributed computing; data analytics, visualization, and storage; machine learning and HPC; performance; programming systems; system software; and state of the practice in large-scale deployment and integration.
Visit RENCI at Booths (#1663) and (#JF42) at SC23 to learn about our collaborative research projects and cyberinfrastructure efforts aimed at helping people use data to drive discoveries.
- The Network Research and Infrastructure Group focuses on developing new types of cyberinfrastructure for domain sciences. NSF-funded projects from this team include CI Compass, PosEiDon, X-CITE, FlyNet, and FABRIC, which recently completed installation of a unique network infrastructure connection, called the TeraCore Ring.
- The iRODS Consortium brings together businesses, research organizations, universities and government agencies to ensure the sustainability of iRODS, an open-source data management software that is continually being developed out of our institute. This year’s releases of iRODS 4.3.1 as well as standalone APIs exposing iRODS via HTTP and S3 help new users use their existing, familiar tools to integrate with an iRODS Zone.
- RENCI researchers help build data ecosystems and platforms for NIH-funded projects such as BioData Catalyst, HEAL, and Translator. Additionally, they develop new data science tools and methods, such as HeLx and ADCIRC.
- RENCI staff support multiple national data science community initiatives, such as the South Big Data Hub and the National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS).
A full schedule of sessions featuring our researchers at our booth can be found at the bottom of this page. All times are in MT.

10:30 – 11:00
iRODS HTTP API – Presenting iRODS as HTTP
Kory Draughn (iRODS)
This talk discusses a new HTTP API for interacting with iRODS.
11:00 – 12:00
FABRIC Status
Ilya Baldin and Paul Ruth (RENCI)
Description: FABRIC (FABRIC is Adaptive ProgrammaBle Research Infrastructure for Computer Science and Science Applications) is an International infrastructure that enables cutting-edge experimentation and research at-scale in the areas of networking, cybersecurity, distributed computing, storage, virtual reality, 5G, machine learning, and science applications. This talk will give an update and demo of FABRIC capabilities.
1:30 – 2:00
iRODS Technology Update – iRODS 4.3.1
Alan King and Derek Dong (iRODS)
This talk will cover the iRODS Consortium’s updates from the past year and plans for 2024.
2:30 – 3:00
Project Eureka: A new way to seamlessly Integrate iRODS data-management, Interactive applications with Open OnDemand, and high performance-AI computing with OmniScheduler, a work-in-progress update.
Boyd Wilson (Omnibond)
In this presentation we will discuss how Project Eureka will provide a way to seamlessly integrate iRODS data-management, interactive applications, and HPAI computing. This presentation focuses on the design and architecture of Project Eureka including core components such as the OmniScheduler iRODS integration and its design to handle capabilities such as data/results staging, dynamic scratch, data publishing with job directives. Additionally the extension of Open OnDemand to include a project based user interface that supports project level organization and self service capabilities providing a ‘Collaborate First’ ethos. The design also includes standard configurations that will be provided by the UI for additional data management capabilities such as replication, archiving, ingestion, tiering, and publishing.
3:30 – 4:00
Authenticating to iRODS via OpenID Connect (OIDC)
Martin Flores (iRODS)
10:30 – 11:00
Authenticating to iRODS via OpenID Connect (OIDC)
Martin Flores (iRODS)
12:00 – 12:30
iRODS S3 API – Presenting iRODS as S3
Terrell Russell (iRODS)
S3 has taken over the storage world for a number of good reasons. Many software libraries, tools, and applications now read and write the S3 protocol directly. This talk describes a new iRODS client API that presents the iRODS namespace as S3.
12:30 – 1:00
Balancing Cloud Resources and the Long-Term Retention and Accessibility of Research Data with S3-Compatible Object Storage
Matt Starr (SpectraLogic)
Not scaling data is not an option for research organizations driving breakthroughs in fields as diverse as cosmology, genomics, and artificial intelligence (AI). Moreover, safeguarding research data for the long term is vital for replicating results, documenting collaborations, complying with governmental and institutional rules, ensuring that published discovery is available to the public and planning future research. But as research data sources become increasingly distributed and researchers take advantage of cloud resources at a growing rate, how can organizations cost-effectively store expanding amounts of data forever without relying solely on the cloud? Join us for a deeper look at how object storage is enabling organizations to implement highly searchable and scalable data repositories locally that allow researchers to utilize their data within any S3-compatible application. We’ll discuss how to build an on-premises long-term archive with iRODS and Spectra Logic that cost-effectively preserves data with minimal risk of failure or data loss to accelerate discovery and the long-term sharing of data in research environments.
2:00 – 3:00

The Ecosystem for Research Networking (ERN) – Exploring Democratized Access to Research Instruments and FABRIC
Jeremy Schafer (Rutgers University), Morgan Ludwig (Techsquare), & Maureen Dougherty (ERN)
The Ecosystem for Research Networking (ERN, formerly the Eastern Regional Network) was formed to simplify multi-campus collaborations and partnerships in the Northeast, in order to advance the frontiers of research, pedagogy, and innovation. The ERN is first and foremost a network of people interested in pursuing this goal, and who use and manage the campus and regional research computing, data, storage and network resources that can make it happen.
