NSF funds Tapis Project for Data-intensive Research

Scientists looking to reduce their complexity to research and add a new computational tool to their tool belt can explore the Tapis Project. Newly funded with a $2.9 million grant from NSF, the Tapis software platform aims to help researchers more easily leverage powerful supercomputers and integrate and manage data from different and distant sources. “The easiest way to describe Tapis is that it’s a web-based application that provides all the tools a modern scientist needs to do data-intensive, computationally-intensive research.”
