The Global Research Platform (GRP) initiative was established several years ago by research communities who design, implement, and operate large-scale, globally distributed, computational science environments, including next-generation, distributed network services and infrastructures. Throughout the year, GRP participants collaborate to customize services, fabrics, and distributed cyberinfrastructure in support of optimal data-intensive scientific workflows and to facilitate high-performance data gathering, analytics, transport, computing, and storage among science sites worldwide.
Its annual Workshop is a unique, international forum that affords an opportunity to meet, present architectural concepts, strategies, innovations, technologies, and to discuss progress, outcomes, and lessons learned.
The 5th Global Research Platform (5GRP) Workshop was co-located with the IEEE e-Science 2024 Conference in Osaka, Japan, September 16-17, 2024. It was organized by Joe Mambretti (Northwestern University) and Maxine Brown (University of Illinois Chicago). There were approximately 50 attendees over the two days, with 30 presentations given by 25 speakers from 8 countries: Canada, Czech Republic, Japan, Korea, Poland, Singapore, Taiwan and the USA. All talks were extremely well received and questions and comments were insightful.
5GRP was a huge success and organizers are already planning next year’s Workshop in collaboration with IEEE eScience 2025, to be held in Chicago, USA, September 15-16, 2025.
